I notice many restorers today use tropical hardwood for body construction - this is incorrect.
Please see the following drawing for the Canadian 2H1 15-cwt body as fitted to CMP trucks. The construction of these bodies were based on the British design. Note the thicknesses of the boards and the types of wood used in the construction of these bodies.
