At the time, most trucks were modified cars. Henry Ford realized he could profit from pickup trucks, so he took his Model T and lengthened the chassis, stiffened the suspension and changed the gear ratios. Intended for farmers, the Model TT could carry a one-ton payload and had a Ruckstell underdrive axle, which allowed the truck to haul loads over rough terrain and uphill. These features drew the attention of Allied forces during World War I, and 39,000 Ford Model TTs went to war, mostly as ambulances
