This listing is for a Model T Ford truck conversion chassis that was built around 1917 or later by the Jewett Car Co. of Newark Ohio. I believe they built electric street cars and had nothing in common with Jewett Motors of Detroit Michigan except for the name. I am not an expert on the various Jewett companies or products so please feel free to help me out here if you can.
This listing is for the Jewett frame, Jewett rear axle assembly and Ford Model T front axle and spring assembly only and does not include the rough roadster body, hood, radiator or front wheels that are shown here. The front wheels are of the earlier ball bearing style and I had to borrow them from a friend. I temporarily placed those parts on this truck chassis so that you would get a better idea of the size of this very rare Model T Ford truck conversion. This listing does not include an engine, transmission or steering gear either.
I found this gem at a large collector vehicle auction near Garrison Montana last Saturday. I found it to be so interesting and special that decided I was not going home without it. What I found there was basically all of the Jewett conversion parts except for what I believe is a newer drive shaft. I believe the drive shaft is from a 1940's or early 1950's Chrysler product that had the enclosed pin type of U-Joint that was covered by a rubber boot.
This Jewett conversion was installed on a bare 1925 or earlier Model T Ford frame when I found it and that frame is still with this truck chassis. I added an earlier Model T Ford front axle assembly with ball bearing spindles and a Ford front spring so that some front wheels could be installed to make the chassis look better. I had to borrow those front wheels from a friend and have to return them to him so they are not included with this truck chassis.
The wheelbase of this truck conversion is about inches. The Jewett frame rails extend about inches behind the back of the roadster body. The distance from the back of the roadster body to the center of the rear axle measures about inches. Based on these dimensions, I believe one could have a bed or box on this truck of around feet in length. One could extend or shorten the wheelbase of this truck by merely extending or shortening the length of the Model T Ford frame that is bolted to the Jewett truck frame rails. One could shorten the Model T Ford frame enough to make this truck into a tractor that could be used to pull a small trailer.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
