The thread about building a box was likely my 2A1.
I have a good 2H1 box on one of my trucks. There's an iron framework and the wood is regular fir shiplap.

Default Yes the 2A1.....

Thanks David

What month,year, thread was that?? The 2A1 would be more appropriate for my cab 11.

Did you copy from an existing box...?

Default Woody box

Thanks David.

Still toying with rebuilding or doing a new one for my 2B1 using the 3 rusted hulks I have to copy from. At least I have the boxes to do the reverse engineering.

Cheers

I knew someone around here would have a 2H1 box! I had been talking to Bob just a few weeks ago about this style box but had no leads other that the drawing posted in the first post.

If only you were closer I would be over in to take pictures and measurements to use to build a box for a truck I am hoping follows me home next month.
