The Model T Ford was an ideal vehicle for a variety of jobs. Its low price made it attractive to the small business/tradesmen together with the ease with which iy could be driven. Quite often the body was stripped from a car and a suitable trade body would be built on the chassis. Later Ford built a trade chassis designated as the 'TT'.

Released in 1985 as a Limited Editon in special packaging it should probably have had it's own Y- number as it is the only one with an open body instead of a closed cabin. The cabin is also a unique casting. Despite its uniqueness and originally much higher price, it is now available and does not differ significantly in price from others.
Major modifications were made to this model. The running boards were modified. Instead of running the full length between the front and rear mudguards, they appeared only as cab steps. The cab sides and roof section were completely retooled and the truck body was obviously a totally new feature. All other components were identical to the regular Model T Van.
