Well, I came up with another bit of insight today. I wondered why the lengthwise sills on the 2A1 and 2B1 are 3 3/4 inches wide when the frames of the trucks are about 2 3/4 " wide. On my C15 the outside of the frame rails are 36" and on the F15A they're 34". With the wider box sills the boxes fit either version. I also measured the distance between the axle flanges and it's 65" on the C15 and 72" on the F15A.

Judging from the mess I made in the garage I must have accomplished something today. Cleanup can wait until I finish the wheel wells.

It might not look like it but I did clean the shop up but then got back at it again. The box is starting to take shape and is looking good. I'll have to try the Motley mount out for size one of these days. Maybe after I get the front and sides done.

2A1 and Motley mount
I put the Motley in the back and it looks pretty good. There's a couple of angle irons that go the width of the wheel wells to mount it using the same holes that the division boards use. I still have to do some work on the wheel wells, then the fold down sides and endgate and the tool box but the end is in sight at least.
When I was looking at the setup, something came to mind. When I'm done, will this be the only complete AAAT1 in existence? I know there's several Cab 11s with the 2A1 but I've never seen any mention of any with the anti aircraft mount in place. There's also some Motley mounts but none are in a truck except for the one somebody put in a C8. It'd be kind of nice if it ends up being one of a kind.
