Here's the measurements off the 2B1. These measurements should be the same as you need since everything is in the same place.
-width to outside of box sides 83 1/2" -length to outside of box ends 79 1/2" -floor surface to top of box 22" -height of wheel wells 12 1/2" -front of box to front of wheel well 21 1/2" -rear of box to rear of wheel well 21 1/2" -length of wheel well 36 1/2" -top of box to top of wheel well 12 1/2 -width between insides of wheel wells 45" -distance between sills above frame 28 1/2" -distance between outside of sills 36" The side boards will be 6 1/2" by 1" so you'll have to start with 2x8s and plane them down to size. The floor planks are 1 1/2" thick so 2x6s will work. It'll likely use those 1/4" x 1" strips like my 2A1 uses. The panels will use those 1/8" x 1" flat irons for edging too. This pic shows some of the construction techniques. You can see how they made the angle iron uprights.

Gday Rob
Drive photo's of spreader as promised. Photos start at the Back of the trucks gearbox a cog has been put onto the trucks tail shaft as a power take off for want of a better term. The photos then head towards the back of the truck. Single speed gearbox to engage/disengage drive to the spreader box.

The single speed gearbox is eng/diseng from the the cab. You can see where the shaft comes out of the Cab to the Gearbox lever.
From the shaft underneath the Chassis another sprocket connects to a chain which drives the transfer case in the middle picture. Another chain runs to a large spocket at the back and this runs into the spreader.

A couple of removing the spreader from the truck.
Incidentally, If anyone wants it they had better let me know ASAP. Otherwise its going to the Scrappies TOMORROW. Let me know TOMORROW MORNING 10am at the latest or she'll be gone. Ive got no where to put it, so I cant keep it & every Cocky I talk to says its no good to them.
