Offered for sale is a Model T Stake Bed truck built on a car chassis that has been stretched to accommodate a Warford transmission. A box in the back provides seating for passengers and the stake fence keeps children from falling out.

Registered as 1915 although motor is 1919–1920

Accessories included:
• Warford transmission (car chassis – stretched to accommodate Warford transmission)
• Demountable Rims • Hassler springs – front and back • Fork mounted electric headlights
• Accessory brakes and equalizer – included but not installed

I regret to inform you that, although the motor, which has not run in many years, turns over with the hand crank and has great spark (from battery – magneto does not function), it has low compression and has proven difficult to start.

Asking price $5,000 | Contact: John Detlor at 425 985-9830 or jdetlor@juno.com

That’s really cute. Transport costs kills the chance of it making out east. If it was within a 5 hour drive of me….I’d buy it just to take to a few parades.

Seems all the good buys are on the wrong side of the Mississippi River!

What kind of bracket are you using for the spot light on the driver's side? I bought the 1917 Model T Ford Roadster sold pending payment on this forum, which has a spot light that is in a hole in the windshield on both sides of the windshield, and I would like it to be mounted like yours? Can you post a close-up picture of it?

I have 2 similar lights that need restored. Maybe make one light out of 2. Not rusty or rotted. They clamp onto the windshield frame. If you are interested, I could send photos soon.

Tom, you can take close-up photographs of the spot light on the top driver side of the truck, near the roof, and the two similar ones.

Darn I like that truck you built. I just wish you weren’t 2500 miles away.

Thanks for the interest. I wish you were closer also. I thought that you might be planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest.
