Hey guys. I need help (NO not professional medical help) I have deliberatly wiped out most of this photo as I wish to do a surprise build away from my usual modeling area. It is still a truck but of great war vintage (WW1) Here is the pic.
now I think it is a Ford Model T but am I right? If not what is it please?
who out there does a kit I can convert preferably in 1/24 or 1/25 but any scale but braille will do?
Thanks in advance folks.

I have just looked at a range of pics of different Ford T trucks of that era and the radiator and hood louvres are different to the Model T

It's the Model T.
RPM Models makes a 1/35th kit. PvtParts made one a little while ago.

Does look like the "T" Roo...They were the main supplier of most all trucks.

ummmm! this is definately not a small truck guys. If you look at the radiator my pic shows a rounded top to the radiator core, whereas the Ford T has a square top to the core. Also the Ford T only has louvres in the bonnet (hood) sides for half the length not the full length of the vehicle in my picture.
I would put this vehicle in the 3 ton class alside of FWD and liberty trucks.

Greetings all,
I was wondering if maybe this truck may have been a product of General Motors rather than Ford? I checked my kid's book on trucks and the GM trucks resembled this one more than any Ford. Or, perhaps it is a Diamond Rio..or at leats back then, a Rio?
My two cents worth
Best Wishes
Steve
