1925 Ford Model TT Stake Truck
Add to SetSummary
As paved roads spread into rural areas, trucks became common sights on American farms. Farmers used the vehicles to haul agricultural products directly to market, or to the nearest railroad depot for shipment to farther points. One-ton Ford trucks like this, based on the Model T but with a lower gear ratio, were the most popular choice during the 1920s.
