It was based on the Ford Model T, but with a heavier frame and rearaxle, giving it a rating of 1 short ton. When first produced in 1917, the Model TT was sold as a chassiswith the buyer supplying a body. Starting in 1924, the truck was available with a factory-produced body.In 1925, a hand operated windshield wiper was added The rear axle of the TT had a worm drive and crown wheel, unlike the Model T's crown wheel and pinion. The worm was located at the end of the drive shaft and above the crown wheel. The wheelbase of the Model TT was 125 inches (320cm), compared to 100 inches (250cm) for the Model T. It was often equipped with an accessory gearbox, such as the Ruxtell or Jumbo gearboxes, which allowed the truck to have intermediate gears between low and high, useful for hill climbing. The Model TT was very durable for the time, but slow when compared to other trucks. With standard gearing, a speed of not more than 15mph was recommended, and with special gearing, a speed of not more than 22mphwas recommended. Standard worm gear ratio was 7.25:1, and special gearing gave a ratio of 5.17:1. Because of this, accessory catalogs offered items to help give the Model TT more power.
