frame
Your pic shows the Aust. steel made frame type. I loaned my example to the Ballards , the Morris guys over in your neck of the woods - they produced a spot on replica for their FFW Morris truck . There was a guy here in Adelaide making replicas and Ron Pier got one of these - they are OK but not 100% the same as the originals .
The British version is Aluminium and I've seen one of these here , it has plain end panels. I had a lid as well , this went to the Ballards. I thought I would find another lid, but I've never seen another one

11 set frame
Looks like you have used Aluminium extrusions with the sharp corners , rather than folding the "U" sections out of flat sheet. It looks pretty good though.
The original frames are very hard to find here, so your chances of finding an original would be very slim. Why not just make another one ?

Surprising they were extruding aluminium in 1939 !

I made a few of these some time ago if anyone still needs some. I won't make any more of these as they just take so long to make. PM me if anyone wants one.

Colin,
Are the rubber shock absorber mounts new old stock or are they modern substitutes. If the latter, where did you obtain them? Thanks Simon King

They are new. There is a supplier here in Australia, but they come in a 300mm length and I cut mine in 25mm lengths. Off memory, I think they were $150.

Thanks Colin, I will look around to see if anything similar is available in the U.K. I have some originals but they have seen far better days.
