Nick, thanks for the pix. I see both trucks have the vents and tie bar between the fenders. Do the seats fold?
In the excerpt I posted from Gregg's book it states that the longitudinal sills and the cross sills were hardwood and the rest was softwood. Being Canadian production the hardwood would be oak and the softwood would be fir. Pine would be too soft a wood for this purpose.
Were the sides on your body made from two wide boards or four narrow boards?
If you can find the time could you take some measurements for me? It would be greatly appreciated.
