Default what box are you think of installing....

Nice find Paul.....

what kind of box are you contemplating..... a 2B1 or an earlier wooden one..?

We have two rusted but complete 2B1 in Ottawa..... typically too rusted to be repaired.... but are seriously contemplating using them as patterns for building at least one..... found a willing fabricator for the heavy and large bending that can handle both the overall isze of the head panel and tailgate.

One outstanding issue will be to reproduce the little brass male, capstan shaped, studs that are affixed with 3 rivets to the side.... intended to hold the leather straps for the canvas cover on earlier models.

Once we get one box done, we will have all the dimensions duly recorded.

Keep us posted of your progress.

Bob
