..... wrong box....... looks to me like a civilian 1940 Chev 1 ton box....all steel and too long for the pilot model.
Buyer would need to fabricate a 2A1 from wood.....is there enough info available to faithfully reproduce the wooden box...? Will now need to clean my keyboard from over salivation!!!!!!! I mean droollllll!!!!

The box looks like a Ben Hur trailer box. Clive Law had something on the early wood cargo boxes...not sure if I still have it on this computer....it might be buried in my emails. However, enough is known about the boxes basic design, combined with the existing photos of the original trucks, that I believe a fairly faithful replica could be made up.

...even has a brake light on the left side that looks "Ben Hur..ish"
You buy the truck and will buy the box from you $500. and even pick it up... Wonder if Bill Gates has any money left after his divorce.

The 10K seems a bit ludicrous, but when you consider a reasonable run of the mill 15cwt Cab13 in restorable condition might run $3 or 4K, then maybe one of the pilot 15cwt trucks might be worth double that?
Had it been something like 2K, or maybe a little more, I had authorization from my better half/conscience to have headed out last Sunday morning and bring it home. The fudruckers hamburger in Saskatoon would have been the tradeoff for allowing a Chevy in the yard. |

The lady says all reasonable offers considered . Where does your $10 K figure come from my friend ? Did you talk to Dawn ?

Dawn is the middle (wo)man. She referred the question to her husband who was sitting nearby.
Looking to take on another project Mr Bergeron? |

He'd put a 2K1 wireless body on it.
