How many model T parts do you need?

[Deluxe Coupe Chris]

I saved these Model T parts from the metal recycling man today. I hope I did not pay to much...

Hard to believe that load was on the way to the scrap yard! Looks like a rolling 26-27 chassis that can become a speedster. Nice save!

A few more pictures...

Can someone tell me what year the early frame is? Also how many different types of wheels came on earlier Model T's. I am mostly familiar with the 1926-27 cars.

Chris,
Ford had many different types of wheels (non-demountable, demountable, square felloe, round felloe, Kelsey, Hayes, sizes of 30x3, 30x3.5, and 21 inch) and each was offered during different years. One of the best Model T books for identification purposes is "Model T Ford, The car that changed the world" by Bruce McCalley. Each year of the T is discussed in detail, and most accessories and standard items are identified. The frames are also covered by years and changes over time.
Great find, thanks for saving the items from the smelter.
Skip in MN.

It is GREAT that you were able to catch these parts, before they were sent to China and come back to us as crap !

OK, OK, Stop teasing us with the photos, time for "The Rest of The Story" how did you get the lead on this deal. Did some old timer pass on and the family finally cleaned house? There has to be a good story here!

Chris:
That is a great find and the person/persons should behung by their thumb nails for even thinking of sending this stuff to the scrape yard. There is a fortune in used parts. Probably enough for two or three cars or whatever. Good work on your part.
