Ford Model TT

The Ford Model TT was a one-ton commercial truck manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1917 to 1927, serving as a heavy-duty variant of the iconic Model T automobile with modifications including a reinforced chassis, heavier frame, extended 125-inch wheelbase, and worm-drive rear axle for enhanced load-carrying capacity.^[1] Introduced on July 27, 1917, initially as a rolling chassis priced at around $600 for buyers to customize with their own bodies, the Model TT quickly became a staple for farmers, merchants, and tradespeople, enabling affordable motorized transport of goods and revolutionizing early 20th-century commerce.^[1]^[2] Powered by the same 2.9-liter inline-four engine as the Model T, producing approximately 20 horsepower at 1,600 rpm, the TT featured a two-speed planetary transmission and could achieve a top speed of about 24 mph, though Ford recommended limiting it to 15 mph when loaded.^[2]^[3] Its one-ton payload rating, combined with options like the Ruckstell two-speed rear axle for better torque, made it versatile for rural and urban use, including as ambulances during World War I where around 39,000 units served Allied forces.^[2] By the mid-1920s, factory-built bodies such as closed cabs and stake beds became available, with prices dropping to as low as $325 for the chassis, further boosting accessibility.^[2] Ford produced approximately 1.3 million Model TTs over its decade-long run, accounting for a significant portion of the company's early truck output and establishing its dominance in the commercial vehicle market.^[1] The truck's popularity peaked in the 1920s amid expanding rural road networks, where it was favored by farmers for hauling produce to markets or rail depots, often weighing around 2,570 to 2,800 pounds when equipped.^[3]^[2] Production ceased in 1927 as the Model T platform was phased out, with the TT replaced in 1928 by the more advanced Model AA based on the Model A car, marking the evolution toward modern Ford trucks.^[1]

Development and Introduction

Origins and Design Influences

In the mid-1910s, the Ford Motor Company expanded beyond passenger cars into commercial vehicles, motivated by increasing demand for affordable trucks to support growing industrial and agricultural needs during the economic transformations associated with World War I and its aftermath.^[4] This shift reflected broader market pressures, as businesses sought reliable alternatives to horse-drawn wagons for transporting goods, prompting Ford to adapt its proven automotive platform for heavier-duty applications.^[5] The Model TT drew directly from the success of the Ford Model T, introduced in 1908, which revolutionized mass production through assembly-line techniques and made affordable mobility accessible to millions.^[6] Engineers modified the Model T's shared chassis to enhance load-bearing capacity, incorporating a reinforced frame while retaining foundational elements like the basic engine and transmission to leverage existing manufacturing efficiencies.^[5] These adaptations allowed the TT to function as a one-ton truck, prioritizing durability and simplicity for commercial use without deviating from the Model T's core design philosophy of rugged practicality.^[6] Henry Ford envisioned the Model TT as an accessible workhorse for small businesses and farmers, conceptualizing it in 1916-1917 as a heavier-duty counterpart to the Model T to challenge competitors like International Harvester in the emerging truck market.^[5] This initiative aligned with Ford's broader goal of democratizing transportation, extending the principles of affordability and versatility from passenger vehicles to commercial hauling.^[4]

Launch and Initial Production

The Ford Model TT was officially launched on July 27, 1917, marking Ford Motor Company's entry into the truck market with a chassis-only configuration priced at $600. This model, derived briefly from the established Model T platform to leverage existing manufacturing efficiencies, represented an accessible heavy-duty option for commercial use. Initial production commenced at Ford's Highland Park plant in Michigan, where output remained limited in the debut year, with only 209 units assembled. The truck was marketed as an economical 1-short-ton (0.91 t) capacity vehicle, ideal for farmers transporting crops and livestock or small businesses handling local deliveries, emphasizing its rugged simplicity and low cost of ownership.^[7]^[8] The onset of World War I profoundly affected the Model TT's early rollout, as the U.S. entry into the conflict in April 1917 prompted Ford to redirect resources toward military needs, effectively halting civilian truck production through 1917 and 1918 while prioritizing ambulance and supply vehicle builds.^[5]^[9]

Design and Specifications

Chassis and Body Configurations

The Ford Model TT featured a chassis adapted from the Model T but modified for commercial utility, with a wheelbase extended to 125 inches (3,175 mm) compared to the Model T's 100 inches (2,540 mm) to accommodate truck bodies and improve stability under load.^[5] The frame was reinforced and heavier-duty to handle increased stresses, while the rear axle was upgraded to a worm-drive design with a 7.25:1 final drive ratio, providing doubled torque for better load handling when integrated with the drivetrain.^[5]^[6] This configuration supported a 1-ton (2,000-pound or 907 kg) payload capacity, making the Model TT suitable for light commercial transport.^[6] From 1924 onward, Ford introduced standard factory-produced body styles to simplify purchasing, including the 2-door pickup with an open express bed, panel truck for enclosed cargo, canopy express with a covered roof and open sides for produce, box truck for fully enclosed delivery, and stake truck with removable side stakes for versatile loading.^[10]^[11] These bodies were mounted on the reinforced chassis, resulting in overall vehicle lengths of approximately 18 to 20 feet (5.5 to 6.1 meters) depending on the configuration, with a width of about 66 inches (1,680 mm).^[6] Curb weight for a typical complete vehicle hovered around 2,800 pounds (1,270 kg), varying slightly by body type.^[3] Optional features enhanced driver practicality, with factory-installed open cabs introduced in 1924 and closed cabs added in 1925 for weather protection.^[12] Hand-operated windshield wipers became available starting in 1925 to improve visibility in adverse conditions.^[6]

Engine and Drivetrain

The Ford Model TT utilized the same engine as the standard Model T, a 177 cubic inch (2.9 L) inline-4 cylinder with L-head valves, producing 20 horsepower (15 kW) at 1,600 RPM and 83 lb-ft (113 Nm) of torque at 900 RPM.^[13]^[14] This sidevalve design operated on a four-stroke cycle, with magneto ignition and no electric starter as standard, requiring hand cranking for startup.^[15] The fuel system featured a 10-gallon cylindrical tank mounted on the frame, delivering gasoline via gravity feed to a Kingston or Holley carburetor, enabling an approximate range of 200 miles at 20-25 mpg under light loads.^[14]^[15] The transmission was a two-speed planetary gear system in the base configuration, providing low and high forward gears plus reverse through pedal-operated bands and drums, identical to the Model T setup.^[5] For heavier-duty applications, upgraded options included auxiliary transmissions such as the Warford or Muncie units, which combined with the planetary gears to offer a 4-speed manual setup with reverse for better load handling and versatility.^[16] Additionally, the optional Ruckstell or Jumbo overdrive axle provided a two-speed rear mechanism, allowing shifts between direct drive and overdrive for improved highway speeds up to 22 mph.^[5] The drivetrain was rear-wheel drive, featuring a worm gear final drive differential with a crown wheel for torque multiplication suited to one-ton payloads.^[9] Standard final drive ratio was 7.25:1, limiting top speed to about 15 mph for optimal low-end pulling power, while an optional 5.17:1 ratio supported higher speeds of 22 mph for longer hauls.^[5] The reinforced chassis accommodated the drivetrain's torque demands under load without compromising the TT's utilitarian design.^[9]

Production

Civilian Production

Following World War I, civilian production of the Ford Model TT ramped up significantly as demand for commercial trucks grew in the United States. Although initial output in 1917 and 1918 was limited due to wartime priorities diverting resources to military needs, annual production surged thereafter, reaching a peak of 306,434 units in 1925.^[17] Overall, approximately 1.3 million Model TTs were produced from 1917 to 1927, reflecting Ford's dominance in the light truck market during the era.^[4] Pricing for the Model TT chassis evolved to make it more accessible to businesses and farmers, dropping from $600 in 1917 to $325 by 1926.^[18]^[5] This reduction was part of Ford's broader strategy to lower costs through economies of scale, enabling widespread adoption. Starting in 1924, factory-produced bodies became available, further simplifying customization and boosting sales volumes.^[2] Manufacturing of civilian Model TTs occurred primarily at Ford's Highland Park plant in Michigan, which served as the core facility for mass production.^[19] Canadian assembly operations, such as those at the Windsor plant, produced additional units but were excluded from U.S. production figures.^[6] Civilian production of the Model TT began to phase out in 1927 and ended by 1928, mirroring the decline of the Model T automobile amid intensifying competition from Chevrolet's more modern offerings.^[20] This shift marked the transition to the Model A-based AA truck line.^[21]

Military Production

During World War I, the Ford Model TT played a significant role in U.S. military logistics, with Ford Motor Company prioritizing wartime contracts that supplied over 12,000 units to the U.S. Army between 1917 and 1918.^[5] These deliveries effectively halted civilian production of the Model TT during this period, as the factory focused on meeting military demands amid the escalating needs of the American Expeditionary Forces.^[22] The contracts emphasized the truck's reliability and ease of maintenance, making it a staple for transport operations. Military adaptations of the Model TT were extensive, transforming the standard chassis into specialized vehicles such as staff cars, ambulances, cargo trucks, and artillery tractors. Reinforcements to the frame and drivetrain enhanced its durability for rough terrain, including worm-drive axles that improved torque for hauling loads over uneven European battlefields.^[23] Ambulances, in particular, were widely used to evacuate wounded soldiers, while cargo variants supported supply lines and artillery tractors towed light guns.^[24] In the European theaters, Model TTs facilitated troop and supply transport for the U.S. Army, with thousands deployed in France following America's entry into the war in 1917. Some units were also exported to Allied forces, including assemblies for the French Army and chassis shipments to Britain, bolstering coalition efforts.^[23] Following the Armistice in November 1918, a substantial number of surplus Model TTs from military stocks were sold to civilians at reduced prices, contributing to the early post-war expansion of the commercial trucking sector by providing affordable, battle-tested vehicles.^[23]

Variants and Applications

Commercial Variants

The Ford Model TT was commonly configured with stake beds for open hauling of goods such as agricultural products, allowing farmers to transport produce directly to markets or railroad depots in the 1920s.^[3] Panel vans provided enclosed storage for urban delivery services, protecting contents from weather during short-haul operations in cities.^[25] Canopy expresses featured partial enclosures over stake or express beds, suitable for safeguarded cargo transport in commercial routes.^[10] Third-party manufacturers offered aftermarket customizations, including enclosed cabs by the Field Body Corporation of Owosso, Michigan, which began producing durable bodies for the Model TT around 1918.^[26] These additions often transformed the chassis into depot hacks, serving as minibuses or taxis with seating for up to eight passengers for local passenger and light freight services.^[26] Rated for a one-ton payload, the Model TT supported practical applications in farming for crop transport, construction site material movement, and urban delivery of goods through the 1920s, leveraging its robust frame for reliable low-speed hauling.^[3]^[25] While primarily developed for the U.S. market, the Model TT was exported to Europe and Australia, where it adapted for light trucking in regional commerce.^[25]^[27]

Special-Purpose Builds

The Ford Model TT chassis lent itself to coachbuilt depot hacks, which functioned as early minibuses for passenger shuttles to airports, hotels, and railway depots. These vehicles featured enclosed wooden bodies seating 8 to 12 passengers, built by independent body makers to provide reliable short-distance transport. Powered by the standard 176-cubic-inch inline-four engine producing 20 horsepower and a two-speed planetary transmission, they offered a practical solution for urban and semi-rural shuttle services.^[28]^[29] Beyond standard commercial applications, the Model TT's robust frame supported experimental builds by coachbuilders and local fabricators, including fire trucks, hearses, and pioneering tow trucks. Fire engines on TT chassis often included custom steel bodies, water pumps, hoses, and ladders, enabling small departments to respond efficiently to urban fires. Hearses utilized extended rear sections for casket storage, with ornate wooden or metal enclosures for dignified processions. Early tow trucks incorporated winches, booms, and reinforced rear axles for vehicle recovery, some featuring extended wheelbases for stability under load. A preserved 1919 TT fire truck with period-correct accessories exemplifies these adaptations.^[30] Similarly, a 1924 TT hearse highlights the chassis's versatility for specialized funeral services, while 1925 TT express tow trucks demonstrate its role in roadside assistance.^[31]^[32] Internationally, particularly in Australia, Model TT trucks underwent off-road modifications for bush applications, where local builders added reinforced frames, higher ground clearance, and auxiliary structures to navigate rugged outback terrain. These adaptations emphasized durability for hauling goods and passengers across remote areas, often incorporating modular chassis extensions for versatility.^[33] Such builds were rare, accounting for a small share of total production and primarily executed by independent coachbuilders rather than Ford's factories.^[25]

Legacy

Impact on the Trucking Industry

The Ford Model TT significantly transformed the market for commercial vehicles by making 1-ton trucks accessible to a broader range of users, including small businesses and farmers who previously relied on horse-drawn wagons for hauling goods. Introduced in 1917 at a price of $600 for the chassis, the Model TT benefited from economies of scale derived from shared production with the Model T, allowing prices to drop to around $325 by 1926. This affordability democratized trucking, enabling rural and urban operators to transport produce, materials, and merchandise more efficiently over increasingly available roadways, thereby reducing reliance on railroads and fostering localized economic activity.^[7]^[7] The model's economic influence extended to broader infrastructure development and Ford's financial standing. With over 1.3 million units produced and sold between 1917 and 1928, the Model TT generated substantial revenue for Ford Motor Company in the years leading up to the Great Depression, while its widespread adoption pressured governments to invest in road improvements to accommodate growing truck traffic. This surge in commercial vehicle use contributed to the expansion of the U.S. highway system, as states and federal initiatives, such as the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, were amplified by the practical demands of truck-based logistics, ultimately laying groundwork for modern interstate networks.^[34]^[35]^[36] By leveraging the established assembly lines originally developed for the Model T, the TT outpaced competitors like Chevrolet and Dodge in production efficiency and market penetration, capturing a dominant share of the light-truck segment through lower costs and rapid scalability. This manufacturing synergy not only undercut rival pricing but also ensured reliable supply, solidifying Ford's leadership in early trucking. The Model TT's success directly paved the way for its successor, the Model AA introduced in 1928, which built on the TT's chassis foundation while incorporating modernized features like improved suspension and enclosed cabs to meet evolving commercial needs.^[37]^[38]^[34]

Collectibility and Modern Interest

The Ford Model TT is considered a relatively rare survivor among early commercial vehicles, with only a handful appearing in auctions and collections today. Recent market data indicates just five recorded sales since tracking began, highlighting its scarcity compared to passenger car variants. Restored examples typically command prices between $11,750 and $53,900, with an average of around $22,020, depending on condition and originality.^[39]^[40] Restoration of surviving Model TTs presents challenges due to the scarcity of original parts for truck-specific components like reinforced frames and drivetrains, though many elements are shared with the Model T ecosystem, allowing access to reproduction suppliers. Enthusiast clubs, such as the Model T Ford Club of America (MTFCA), provide essential support through technical resources, including service manuals and forums dedicated to TT maintenance and repairs.^[41]^[42] In modern contexts, Model TTs are prized for parades, vintage truck shows, and static displays, often driven short distances to participate in events like the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show. Museums such as the Texas Transportation Museum house restored examples, like a 1924 stake-bed TT used for educational exhibits and local outings.^[2]^[43] Culturally, the Model TT symbolizes Ford's early foray into affordable commercial transport and appears in documentaries exploring Henry Ford's innovations, such as the PBS American Experience film on his life and the auto industry's birth. While not as iconic as the passenger Model T, it represents the era's shift toward mass-produced utility vehicles, occasionally replicated for period-accurate film props in historical reenactments.^[44]
