Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Rare Rides: 1925 Ford Model TT Grain Truck

Posted February 14, 2011 9:20 AM by dstrohl

We know that in 1925 Ford offered a grain truck body for its ton truck. The cab the cab on this 1925 Ford Model TT seemed unusual, however, so we contacted James Wagner, Ford truck historian, for his expert opinion. Wagner believes that both the cab and the body are aftermarket, which isn't all that unusual for Ford trucks of that period. Nor does this detract from the overall presentation of the truck.

From the owner's description: 1925 Ford Grain Body Model TT Grain Truck, one of 90 made, that has been in the family since purchased new. Always in running condition and fully restored in 1996. I have pictures of the restoration work as well as pictures from the days of it use on the farm in Minnesota.

Coal, stone, lumber, livestock, and other freight.
