Default Early 11 Cab recovery

Some photos of an early 1940 11 cab C15 recovery yesterday in Nova Scotia. The new owner should be joining the forum shorty.

Pretty much all complete aside from missing the box, used to deliver mail in rural NS, kept in a barn for years until the original owner passed away, the previous owner disasembled to restore and lost intrest. No rust on the sheet metal except for the door panels, nice to see on the East Coast!

All data plates are there, apparently one of the first 3000 made?

Enjoy the photos...

That's a nice project. It'll need a 2A1 box like I built for mine. It also looks like the centre section of the rear end is removed. If he needs rear end parts I have a couple of spares.
