1911 Ford Model T Semi-Truck	1911 Ford Model T Semi-Truck 1911 Ford Model T Semi-Truck The world's first "semi", built by Fruehauf, using a 1911 Ford Model T and a Smith Form-A-Truck unit. This historic truck and trailer combination came to be because a Detroit lumber dealer, Frederic M. Sibley, Sr., wanted a better way to transport his boat to a northern Michigan resort area. In the summer of 1914 Sibley took his problem to the blacksmith shop of August Fruehauf with a request for Fruehauf to design a contraption capable of carrying his boat to hook onto Sibley's Model T. With his associate, Otto Neumann, Fruehaf built a sturdy two-wheeler that hooked to the rear of the Ford frame with a pole acting both as tounge and brake. They called it a semi-trailer. It worked so well that Sibley decided such a vehicle, with the addition of a platform, could be used to deliver lumber. Fruehauf modified the trailer for him. It proved so successful that other customers ordered similar trailers, and Fruehauf was launched into the trailer business. In 1913, the year before Sibley wanted his trailer, Smith Form-A-Truck of Chicago introduced the first truck conversion unit for a Model T Ford chassis. The conversion kit cost $350 and within two years, thousands were sold and numerous competitors offered similar units, including Ton-a-Ford, Overton, Metz, Maxfer, and Redden.

1911 Ford

Introduced in October of 1908 as a completely new offering from Ford, the Model T remained in production in much the same form for 19 years, during which time 15 million examples were built. January 1911 saw the introduction of a completely restyled Model T featuring new fenders, wheels, body and a slightly revised brass radiator. Later in the year a new engine and front and rear axle were added. The lighting consisted of all brass lamps: gas headlamps with oil (kerosene) side and tail lamps. The rear axle was now cast-iron, with the front axle design incorporating spindles with separate steering arms. Ford bodies were now made with steel panels over a wooden framework and two new styles were offered, a Torpedo Runabout and Open Runabout, both of which differed from the other models by virtue of their curved fenders, longer hood and lower seating positions and steering column. The gas tank was located on the rear deck and the Torpedo, unlike the Open Runabout, had two doors.
