I don't have plans for the 2A1 body (or the later ones, except what's in the AEDB Design record and that really isn't enough to build a body from) but would like to suggest that you consider a slightly newer pattern body. I don't remember seeing photos of the 2A1 body with a cab 13. I am sure I have seen photos of the 2B1 body on a Cab13 and of course the later bodies too. You said something that makes me think you aren't afraid of metal fabrication so you shouldn't be scared of the 2B1 or later bodies unless the problem lies in getting panels bent as opposed to welding channel/angle for the frame of the 2A1. Keep your eyes open, we recently came across a 2C1 in the Ottawa area. Too far to ship but proof they still appear sometimes.
