supercub Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I would like to get a T to fix up. I am considering a 26 T that has the closed cab separated from the chassis. Can anyone tell me where the VIN would be located and if the cab and frame are marked? Also, what should one look for while inspecting the drivetrain, especially the transmission, in a non runner? My goal is to make a runner out it or another T, not concourous show example. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It's on the engine. On a late T like that they might also have stamped it on the frame near the brake lever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Thanks I'll look for it near the brake lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Turns out this was a pickup truck, it has planetary gears. Would it have a worm gear differential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdillinger Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 On my '26 the number was stamped on the passenger side frame rail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Pickup chassis is the same as a Model T car. Only the lager model, TT truck { one ton } has the worm gear diff. They all use the planetary trans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) I missed that one, it sold before I could go see it. I am still looking around for a 20's to early 30's chassis but I have a lead on a '20 T that was a 4dr roadster that someone cut the rear section off. It may be a good baseline for my speedster project, I dont want to cut up a complete car and I dont want to spend a lot on one.
