Jim
We'd talked about your auto interests before, this one surely sounds interesting!

I know my 1929 Chevy truck has wooden framework in the cab, also my 1927 IHC 3
ton hard rubber
tired truck. My 1927 Republic doesn't...there isn't a cab, just open station!

The remains of an Overland I have here also had wood framework.

Certainly adds another dimension to resurrecting this old iron!
