keiser31 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Looks like a Model T Ford to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Model TT Ford, judging by the hard rubber tires on the rear wheels, this is a 1918-1920 era truck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Well, I’ll jump in and say it’s a Ford Model T or TT (truck version of the model T). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41 Su8 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Quote TT to be more precise. The worm gear rear end and heavier frame give it away. Started out in '17 as a chassis and you would have your own body made for it. In '24 Ford started making their own bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) In case you wondered what they are doing, they are filling up the ice house. Those are blocks of ice in the back of the truck. They have a chute lined with tin. They are holding a rope with ice tongs on it. They will start the blocks on the chute, clamp the tongs on the end block and pull the rope, pulling the blocks up into the ice house. Then they will be stacked up with sawdust in between and the pile of ice covered with more sawdust. Next summer they will have ice to sell. Or if it is a dairy farm the ice will be used to keep the milk fresh and cool. Edited September 7, 2019 by Rusty_OToole (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 What a great photo. The things we take for granted nowadays... Imagine the movement and tasks involved in securing a truck load. From the frigid round trip ride in one of these old trucks to the sawing by hand. And if that wasn't enough, the unloading that we see here in this photo and repeat the process all over again... Amazing Real working men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Look at the crosscut saw beside the door and think of the guy holding his breath under the ice, pulling on the lower end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
