Mike, thanks for the drawings. I compared the 2A1 pix with your drawings on the Morris site and thay're almost the same. The 2A1 is longer in the wheel wells and the Canucks used 1" boards on the sides and endgate and 1 1/2" on the floor. That's the only differences I've noticed so far. Your Morris drawings will work for the front and the endgate. The sides are the same except for the overall length.so feel free to post more of those drawings.
I'm not quite sure of the construction of the wheel wells. What thickness lumber would they have used there and were they completely framed with angle iron?
Two more questions. What size lumber were the cross sills made of and did they use any lengthwise sills under them?
The 2A1 uses a long shaft for the tailgate hinge.
