Jordan,
Those boxes turned out awesome...... and the truck of course! I think you did very good for a first (long) drive. Bringing some spare parts usually means nothing breaks.......like when you bring an umbrella....than it doesn't rain! Alex

Finally got some time to work on fixing my 1887 Singer 29 UFA and finish a sewing project for the truck.
The original is on the left and my new made one is on the right. I’m quite pleased with it and just need to source a snap for it.

Working away on the special straps for the canvas covers. These go on the two large bins in the back of the truck.

top notch work Jordan.....enjoying this thread very much!
Did you use original webbing straps as a basis for the conversion? I have also purchased a bunch of webbing with nice stamps to use for my C8 tarp when I finally get to it. Alex

The straps are original material. The quick release straps were original GM boxed straps but they weren’t long enough so I stitched in lengths of the P37 utility straps. My sewing machine handled that fine but now is not enjoying stitching them to the canvas. I just got off the phone with our local canvas sewing place and they are going to take a look at them for me Thursday.

Today’s progress until the 1887 Singer broke down again. It’s a great machine that just needs some loving care.

Went out for a nice 60 mile drive tonight. Everything was great and I’m glad I brought along the ear plugs. That 6 bladed fan makes a tremendous amount of noise.
