The Ford Barn

I read some where that the T engine was built by the Dodge brothers for a water pump. I was interested in what other parts Ford used to put the first model T's on the road. Where did he get the in closed axle? and planetary transmission? I realize Ford was a brilliant man, but, this was something totally different than his last projects. I was watching the car that built America, and have read most of the books about him. Be interesting to find out how it all came together. I had a 23/4 T PU, and it was original. It was done by DR David Harvey. Thanks
