Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
I don't think that Ford thought of this Accessory Tool Box? |

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
Thank you Mercman. That is a great way to keep things handy.
My aprons are a different ( round ) shape, or I might consider it.

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
Seeing the wear rust on lower left corner, think the box is just sitting on a shelf and lifts out.

Maybe, but it would have to be tilted toward the running board to clear the cowl - looks like it's far enough under to hit the cowl before it gets clear. There appears to be a chain/bungee cord/whatever attached to the drawer(?) handle, and there's a hook in the splash shield under the door that may be the other end. I suppose the box could be dropped down out of the splash shield, then pulled out underneath the running board. But I can't figure how it would be supported when it's not in use. Whatever, seems it would have been a lot easier just to carry it on the running board or in the bed. |

Hence the question mark. OK, then what's it for? Last edited by CHuDWah; 11-01-2022 at 02:06 AM. |

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
I'd say it's just there for looks and as a conversation piece.

To help lift it out of its cubby hole.

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
It would have to be tilted up enough at the front to draw it out. A lot of home brewed stuff is awkward and not always all that practical but it satisfied whomever did this alteration. It looks like it's been that way for a good while. Not unlike a lot of shade tree mods I've seen before. It likely bounces a.good bit when a pot hole is encountered hence the need for a security chain or bungee.

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
Uh-huh. Not much leverage with that handle to lift a box of heavy tools. And doing so will tilt it backward such that it may hit the frame and/or cowl before it clears the fender. It's an interesting conversation piece but not very practical. Like I said, easier to just haul the box on the running board or in the bed. |

Re: Ford Model T Roadster Pickup with Accessory Tool Box
This Model T Ford with the "accessory" Tool Box sure gets around. It was seen at the Street Rod Nationals, Hawkesbury back in April |
