The Chevrolet Model T is a 1 ton truck made 1918-1922. It used the FA, FB engine and transmission but the rest is different than the passenger cars. They had a worm drive rear end similar to the Model TT trucks. Oldsmobile also produced a similar truck but had only a few parts that were the same as the Chevrolet.
I have a bunch of literature on the Model T trucks and own a 1920 model that was converted to a fire truck when new.

Anything in particular that you are needing. I also have some literature and a parts manual for the model T. Am in the process of restoring one right now.

The Chevrolet Motor Company of California is credited with selling the first Chevrolet Trucks in June of 1917. The G&D printed a photo in August 1994 of a open truck from the August 1, 1917 MOTOR WEST magazine and stated "New Chevrolet One-Ton Worm-Drive Truck 50 of which are now being turn out..." These had 490 passenger car looking front ends.

I would suggest you google or do a yahoo search for the subject. Don't expect much information as most will be the other Model T. Another possible source is GM in Canada. You can request the information from them. Don't have the contact information handy but someone else may and post it here. Don't know if they now have a charge or not. I have several pieces of literature but not knowing what you want it is hard to know what to copy.
Just a general comment: It is difficult for some of us that have literature collections to justify taking the time to scan and email the pictures for just general interest. What do we copy? How much? It is sorta like the person that has a particular vehicle requesting "send me what you have on a ..........." For some of those vehicles I might have 20 or more pieces of literature ranging from parts books, repair literature, owners manuals, sales literature, service information all from GM or Chevrolet and then a bunch more from other sources. What of all that do we copy?

Hey JD,
FYI, earlier today I wanted to make a digital copy of an article in a 1955 Mechanix Illustrated that I have, but I didn't want to damage it by flattening the magazine in the copier.
My solution was to gently hold it open with one hand and take a digital picture with my camera with the other hand.
Although the verbiage curves in towards the spine, the pics turned out pretty good and readable. They won't win any awards, but they are good enough so I can share the article with a friend online.
Cheers, Dean

Under current conditions JYD may have to put the camera in the memorabilia garage as he wont be able to get film for it even though it takes a good photo.

There were limited numbers of Model T trucks built in Oshawa, Ontario from 1918 .. all engines were built in Saginaw and imported (Saginaw Products Co).
H. Prosser Limited of Glasgow exhibited a Model T at the January 1921 Scottish Motor Show...they were rated at 25 cwt or 1 1/4 tons in the UK. The Chevy T competed directpy with the Olds T, especially when the Chevy T gained the Olds T engine [for 1922?].
