Model Ts brakes are on the engine/transmission.
Try the best as possible to disassemble everything and use as templates. As you live in S.A. I would consider using an exotic wood for the cab like mohagony or teak. Post lots of pictures! ws

An addition... it looks like there is already some type of rear brakes installed from the linkage on the brake pedal. Need photos of the rear wheels/drums.
Thanks for the advice! No brakes uh! The guy told me that is a 1925 model TT, the rear wheels are originals and for the front he have originals 30x3 wooden wheels? It's this OK?
I'll take some photos and post it soon!! Many thanks...

Ford model A hubs and wheels were used for transport the truck from somewhere to the original location.
