If that were mine, I'd just get it running and drive it some before I spent a lot of money. Then, I'd get the drive line up to snuff and drive it some more. Then and only then, I MIGHT think about doing something to the body. Oh yeah, I'd build a nice wooden pickup bed. Kool "truck". I love it. Tha...

This may sound a little weird, but I'm a little bit that way myself. I was adopted at birth so there's some potential surprises not knowing what I'm built from, so to speak. Just makes it more special to be part of my family and hoping to keep family a priority moving forward. I want to drive my gra...

I want to thank everyone for the encouragement and all the information already! I've connected with the president of the Tennessee T club, and I'll speak with him again today to schedule a time for him and another club member to come over and take a look (Thank you Ricky and Dennis). We turned 2 bol...

aha...the plot starts to unwind...thats an April of '26 engine block in there with that serial number if we agree the second digit is a '3'! The title has 1192948 and the engine really is 13547066, so sounds like mystery solved. I appreciate your help! Sorry to my grandpa, but his title doesn't mat...

Welcome to the affliction! Really neat that the car has a multigenerational family history. For getting started, look at the water inlet on the driver side of the engine. At the top of it, is a cast iron flat spot with a sequence of numbers stamped firm. Compare that number to the title you have in...

It has an electric starter that was an upgrade at some point. The battery is below the deck behind the cab. ...

Thank you so much for the seamless transport of my grandfather's (I guess it's mine now) model t this past week. I love seeing my parents in your picture as well. Here are mine if you're interested.

Here's what I got with it as far as paperwork and the key. I'm already getting everything together to title it here. I redacted identifying information, but left where the car came from because I'm genuinely interested if anyone from my hometown may see this.

Hi all, My name is Kevin and I'm the proud new caretaker of my late grandfather's model t. tl/dr: I inherited a T. Bill Squires is awesome, and I'd never use anyone else. I'm in NW Tennessee, know little about what I'm getting in to, but know I want to do it right. I'd love to meet other folks in my...
