I joined a local model t club. And I need to do some research. I plan on buying a pickup 1925-27 I would like to here the pros and cons about that model. I know the cabs are tight, but for starters I need to find the measurements of the pickup and ether different body types.

The average size of Americans was smaller in the Model T era, and a T can be a tight fit for larger folks. If you're in that larger category you may fit better in a 1925 or earlier T. Before you buy, try. I expect folks in your club would let you sit in (and maybe drive) their various years and body styles. Just like buying a car from a dealer, you want to try it out.

Advantages of a pickup: You can haul stuff; they look cool.
Disadvantage: room for only one passenger.

Here's some info on shopping for a Model T:
