This Day in Ford History: On July 27, 1917, Ford announced that it would begin selling its first dedicated truck chassis. Prior to 1917, Ford used car chassis with pick up and commercial bodies for their truck. The new Model TT chassis was two feet longer than the Model T chassis and had stiffer suspension, with heavy-duty wheel hubs and solid rubber tires. While only three Model TT chassis were produced in 1917, Ford went on to produce 1,471,441 chassis through the product run, which ended in 1928, with the introduction of the Model AA.
