==Production== When the first three units were produced in 1917, the Model TT was sold as a [[chassis]] with the buyer supplying a body. The price was $600. Starting in 1924, the truck was available with a factory-produced body. By 1926 the price had dropped to $325.{{sfn|Gunnell|2003|page=6}} In 1925, a hand-operated windshield wiper was added.{{sfn|Gunnell|2003|page=37}} ===Military production=== In his ''World Encyclopedia of Military Vehicles'', author Pat Ware writes that: "During World War I, the Model T was ... standardized in the "light" class.
