Default TooT to you to - but back to the bows

Hi Bob

Yup added the air horns after one to many little cars tried to become wheel chocks. The regular horn is for the polite Toot the air horns for getting their attention.

Now back to the bows, I've been thru my photo collection to see if I could find what a "original" set of bows would look like. I'm not sure there is a single correct design. I've found period photos with the top of the bow flat across form the to side bends, others with a little peak in the middle others with a significant peak in the middle. Then look at the non cargo versions with the bows and canvas added to disguise the special purpose truck as a plain cargo.

There also seems to be a lot of difference in do the bows have fore aft bars or boards. Which gets into the whole question of will the truck be parked outside with the tarp on in the rain or snow? Because if the answer is yes the fore aft connections tend cause the canvas to catch and hold the snow and rain.

Cheers Phil
