Estas fue un sueno malo!! Actually theres a lot left to it. The worm drive Ruckstell rear end makes it a 20 mph truck. Also looks to have Model "A" hubs and wire wheels converted. Model TT rear wheels can be very costly! Usually, with an auxilliary transmission, if it slips into neutral you have no brakes. Auxilliary rear external drum brakes are needed to stop. 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.
