For the timber body Glen used the metal brackets of a wooden Studebaker tray and had to widen it 8 inches to make it correct for the FWD. It is a really to job. Glad it has gone to a good home and not overseas.

Did he shorten it as well Rick? I got a wooden Stude body from Col Jones for all the metal work for my Diamond T. It was missing a tailgate but I got a timber body from John Belfield off a Mack which was very delapidated but had the tailgate and some other bits. Enough between the two to resurrect one good timber body. The Dt body is about 8 inches wider and a foot shorter than the Stude. Now got find some suitable timber.
