Winter build project T body

[32 chevy vett]

I cut down sum ash and had lumber made. About ten years ago.I had staked up stairs. So thought it was time to build a six post delivery express wagon.
I started with making the body mounts.

I primed and painted the frame work. Worked on the floor boards and side boards.

Thanks guys I said at the beginning I had the lumber made up. I just had a C.M.S. attack. I milled them up my self with a Alaskan chainsaw mill.
Visionary I bought an original that was all a part.The firewall and roof were missing.
I made them up. And traced all the parts on a roll of paper. After ten years in the shop. I saved all I could. And went by photos for the rest.

I bent and welded up all the flair irons. Cut,bent and drilled most of the steel for the six post. Drilled bent and finished the tail gate.

Hi TnA There is no reason you can't do that. As long as you got a 29 Reo frame.
I will try to give more detail photos. If you come to a spot. You need help. Let me know.

I built the one in my avatar about 25 years ago, no plans used. Just finished a woodie body for a 29 model a last fall

 

[32 chevy vett]

Hi tombia Is yours a six post. It's hard to see it good in the avatar.
I had this original to copy.

 

[tombia]

No , Its only 2 posts, The post is right where my left shoulder is, Sometimes not to comfortible and I used touring fenders, wished I had used hack fenders so it would be wider, other than that its been a ball and lots of miles. Wish I could post better pic's.
