Default Wonderful drawings......

Thanks Hanno

Now tell me"How do I save the drawings on my computer?"

....and I suppose that the tailgate was never drawn up....... but I can extrapolate for the building style of the box...

One final question.......Was a similar box ever built in Canada for the early C8 and C15....in cab 11 style???

I may have to look for a 1940 Chev Pickup for the front piece. There are two different size cabs and fender sizes....one for the 1/2 and 3/4 ton model BUT the one I have is the larger cab for the 1 1/2 to 3 ton 1533.......

I also have a fully restored 1 ton 1937 rolling frame mounted on 16 inch rims of 5 x 5 1/2 bolt pattern......custom wheels can be made in 9 inch width to handle the 9.5 diamond sand grip tires. The advantage of using the 1937 is that as a 1 ton the rear frame is flat with no curvature for the rear axle.

However the wheelbase of the 1937 one ton is 122 1/2......seven inches longer than the 115 for the 15cwt pickup model. The 37 frame has been sand blasted and painted, drums turned, new bearings, new wheel cylinder and his an open rear end much easier to get a driveshaft made up.

I just love the look of the early conversion done to the 39-40 models with the bulbous front fenders and grill mounted headlights.

Thanks for making me "think" .......

Default Exactly what I want to build......

...... still not decided if I should go with the more unique wooden cargo box or the welded steel cargo tray as seen on this and other pictures.

Also considering making my own sand channel by copying the design seen in various photos. Would be nice to find an original to take actual measurements.

Thanks Hanno
