That's pretty cool, certainly something not often seen. I have a new found admiration for the model T after visiting Greenfield Village and the Gilmore last fall. 

 

Safe travels!

Neat truck. I would like to see it in front of my house coming to work on the phone instead of living in the world of cell phones.

Great vehicle. It looks taller than the trailer. Did it actually fit in there?

[Trulyvintage]

I called my friend Dean Yoder in Iowa

while I was loading up in Albuquerque 

and asked him to name this vehicle.

 

For those who don’t know - Dean Yoder

has been driving his Model T thousands of miles a year on organized tours and dirt roads and across the lower (48) states and into Alaska for many years …

 

Dean spent his Life working for the

telephone company - but he has never

named a Model T he has owned …

 

I called again this evening and after

kicking around names - “ Lineman “

seemed appropriate …

 

On a recent typical Monday morning

I took this video at The Yoder Farm:

Yes
 

I contact the pick up party and have

overall length measured for every 

vehicle I schedule to haul - if the height

looks to be an issue I get a measurement

of that too …
