Aside from a few things that need tidied up to make your life easier, I wouldn't change a thing...the old girl is perfect! This kind of T is way more interesting than a 99-point show car.
SUPER!! The Model T version of Johnny Cash's One Piece at a Time Cadillac. And saw the Goodyear blimp so if something happened it could give you a "lift". 😁
Love the concept of his build, turning an impractical TT into a drivable vehicle...I would do the same if it were mine...Who wants to cruise around at 16 mph? Or spend the money on compound gearing and loss of power through increased resistance, just to go faster...change the rear axle is the best solution! If you are going to pleasure drive it, you do not need the 7.25 or even the rare hi speed rear end...glad this was posted, so other TT enthusiasts can see another option.
Thank you to the content you create. I know it takes work to make videos for YT and viewers like me really appreciate what you do. It's great entertainment and inspiring.
That is a great old truck and a cool project. I just stumbled upon this vid so going to watch the whole series. I first discovered your channel because of your Falcon. Was working on a similar car.

Cool video!! So is that 18 mph max speed with the aux in OD? I always thought that was the downfall of the TT's. I like the general look and good luck with future improvements..
Agreed...it looks cool as is...but if you could get some more speed and brake performance - maybe suspension too - out of it, it would be a great 'sleeper'..lol. Very cool. Like the color too...navy plus rust and dirt.
I’m not a TT expert, but that looks like a conversion from a car, based on the differential. That sure looks like a car differential, not a TT worm drive differential. Am I missing something?
Nice upgrades. I never would have thought of putting a Model A rear in one. Any idea how fast it goes? I have a ‘26 T Roadster and am looking to buy a TT here locally. I noticed yours has ‘26-‘27 pedals.
Cool. It has 3.78 gears so in direct drive, it will cruse at 30-35 MPH which is about as fast as I want to go with it. Yep, even though it has an earlier transmission it has the later pedals anyway.
Whistlindiesel just released a video of him destroying a 1917 Ford model T which made me sick. And the reason reason why is my dad wanted one of these since he was a child second the car made it this long just to be destroyed by a moron But by its comments people seem to like destruction. The car being a symbol of what hardships people been through its sad If only the young generation knew that some people walked to where they needed to go paved roads did little to non existent so owning something like that was a blessing

What a really cool truck and a neat story too. Would love to see it all dolled up one day.

Some nice re-engineering there! Looks like a fun driving vehicle.
Towing a Model T with a Ford Falcon. Something you never see any more.
Well worth the purchase price. Keeping History Alive.
Pretty amazing, you almost got a "free start"!
What a great story for this truck... hope I get to see it up close at some South Bay cars and coffee someday!!!
Best part 🤔 it's one of a kind.. I'd put on
Front brakes and make it more comfortable???
And enjoy the Adventures 😉👍👏👏

Thank you. I try.
Very cool!
Thank you for a very interesting video. Keep up the great work!
That's awesome! A pieced together old truck is the best.

I really like the looks of it!
Your channel is Fantastic!! I love to see what cars you have in progress... your use of the Model A upgrades is quite novel...
It’s so cute. You should take better care of it.
The Clampetts called.. they want their truck back. 😀
For a ‘bitsa’ she looks good…. A few mods as you mentioned when you can fit it in🙄😆…..nice one💪🏼
That thing is cool. It's clearly had many lives.
That thing is sweet!!!
Thanks! Straight Ahead ✌😎
Nice truck I have a 1918 Chevy legend truck needs restoration not sure what I’m going to do with it yet
I like the look, I'd drive this truck as a daily driver.
You left it outside in the weather? Aaargh!

It would go 22 in overdrive. Better, but not much better.

Hey, you've been holding out on us! What other treasures do you have that we don't know about? 🤔
