So if we have pick-up trucks, why don't we likewise have pick-up cars??? I'm not sure that I'm buying all thats being said within this thread. For one thing, Ford invented the assembly line and put it into play in the mid teens. He may of continued sales of un-assembled vehicles, but that would of been greatly reduced and likely limited to dealerships in towns with no rail service to receive completed cars on railroad flat cars. The regular sized truck was more less the same as the car, only with a truck body on it. Likely assembled on the assembly line, right along with cars. The larger TT trucks were introduced in 17 (as a prototype the way production numbers sound), and put into actual production in 18. These possibly had a longer chassis that wouldn't jive with ford's assembly line already in use. If that was the case, these TT trucks would of been limited to un-assembled in crate sales. But that would of equated to most crate sales consisting of only these TT sales. Right?? Atleast by the time they were being produced. A body was offered for these trucks after a few years of production. Stand to reason they were likewise assembled on an assembly line. Atleast from the point of the introduction of the body, and onward. As for wood. Even the T car body, had some wood in the body. Car bodies derived from horse drawn buggies and carriages that were made up of almost entirely of wood. Wood was not phased completely out of car body's, until many years into car production. Wood spoke wheels were seen on T's until late production. Not sure about the TT's.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
