Re: On the job
Amazing ! Fantastic examples of aftermarket Model T bodies ! And I had no idea our Army utilized Ts for Post libraries Every Army Post I’ve ever been to required 14-18 daily work hours and during the era of these pictures, I’m aware of a high degree of illiteracy in the ranks. Go figure. Also found interesting the mish mash of “acceptable year” parts on some of these. Once again; thank you Tom for sharing
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people

Re: On the job
The first picture looks like it had been in an accident. The top over the cab on the 20th picture is interesting. Looks like it had been the rear part of a top adapted to fit in front.

Re: On the job
The second thing that caught my eye is that I believe this to be a brand new TT chassis. Look how perfect the paint / sheet metal / spokes & rims are. Even the front mounted license plate is pristine. This photo could be documenting the truck's "madien" voyage. What a treasure to see.

Re: On the job
The trim on the barn tells me he was proud of his carpentry skills. The miter on the cowl was probably done on an old compound miter box with a hand saw.
