Always room for one more.

Hi Gord,

I'm 100% certain your new truck is the one I first saw in Bancroft many years ago. After a couple of ownership changes it made its way to the Elliot brothers. As far as I know the Elliots only changed the 2C1 box which was on the truck and replaced it with the 2B1 box which is currently on it. They also added the toolbox. I am certain that the remainder of the truck is exactly as they purchased it with the exception of the paint. I recall speaking with the Elliots shortly after they sold the truck and the most recent owner (yourself excluded) painted the truck in their yard with aerosol cans. The reason you are finding such a marked difference between the condition of the cab and front end sheetmetal vs. the box and toolbox is due to this swap. The Elliots did the box swap to try to keep it as original as possible. They didn't strip the truck of useable parts and if the history I shared somehow conveyed that message it certainly was not intended.
