The Ford Barn

sandmountainslim · 04-10-2013, 05:35 PM

I picked up two doors for a T in a trade today. They are from a Touring Car and I got the front door and the driver side rear door. Great condition with all the wood and the hinge and latches still on them. I plan to use Front Door on my non-Ford Barn Friendly project car and trade the rear door off. Is there any way to tell the era Model T these doors were made for? I see no markings on them.

The door latch handles are the double twist style. Those are from '22 to '25. The hinge plate looks like the later '24. Best guess is touring doors, 1924 or 1925.

While there were some changes in the hinge and door latch the doors were the same from about 1914 to 1925 with the exception of the front door in 1914. That door handle could have been used as early as 1917. The best information I have seen is that the 24-25 models would have had a more rectangular shaped hinge so I would put a date on the doors as about 1917 to 1924 ish.
