Interior Plywood
Hi Gordon
I used two layers of 1/8 mahogany luan plywood which was actually fairly cheap, when I was rebuilding my S56 Radio Box. Used two layers of the thin 1/8 instead of 1/4 inch because the 1/8 would bend to the curves of the roof inside and out while I could not get the 1/4 plywood to bend that sharp without breaking. Little glue between the layers and it has been in the box on the truck since 1992. Did a little searching on the internet seems to relatively common, even in marine grade. Marine grade I found for 4'x4' or 2'x8' sheets 1/8 thick was $28. Found some none marine grade 4'x8'x1/8" for around $15 per sheet. When I went looking the local lumber yard had it in stock in 4x8 sheets it is used in cabinet work for the bottom of drawers. I went the same way and used rigid foam re-insulate. Cheers Phil

I have all the new panels made, but not all of them are painted yet. I tried test fitting one side to see how well things went together. The window assemblies need to be completed and mounted before the channel irons can be put in place.

Have you considered......
....converting it into a Chip/fries truck..... now is the time before you do the inside.
Very nice job..... Glad you rescued that beast and doing it justice..... Bob

A chip truck?
Well Bob, I guess I'll play along, you think it should be a chip truck? I know where there are two deep friers and the truck was originally wired for 110 volts. With those big window panels, for ventilation, it should make a good conversion!
You refer to the truck as 'that beast", my nephew called it a pachyderm. Would Jumbo be an appropriate name to put on the hood. Gord
