Well, I finally talked that guy out of the 1A2 body and hauled it home the 150 miles in the back of my S10. If I ever start working on a 60 cwt of any kind I'll have to start using one of my bigger trucks to haul stuff home.
The 1A2 is in exceptionally good shape (the floor is still straight so the farmer mustn't have used it for hauling rocks etc.) It's missing the endgate but I know where there's one of those ( 100 miles the other direction). One fender is missing too but the top bows are there. Two short pieces were cut out for some reason or another but that's a minor repair.
Mike, in the next week or so I'll take some detailed pix of the tilt and take some measurements for you. Something interesting about the tilt: it's all welded together except for the top centre lengthwise pipe which is bolted in. I'm sure there's a reason for that but I fail to see what it'd be.
