    Ford Motor Company's Model TT truck chassis -- made from 1917 until 1927 -- could be mounted with a multitude of body styles. An unknown maker built a passenger school bus body for this 1924 TT. Other Ford trucks carried ice or coal, delivered everything from flowers to furniture, and even fought fires.
