Thanks Otto! The Coachbuilt web site has a lot of interesting info. Um, the Henney tag was at the bottom of one of the loose parts boxes ...
The bed parts I *have* identified, and seem to have been part of an express body (which is what I want to put back on the truck eventually), are "Schurmeier-Whitney" which is another interesting piece on the Coachbuilt web site.
Yesterday, I got the hood and fenders (three pairs of fronts and 1 pair of rears) over to the sand blaster -- Kenny Saufley, for you SoMD types. Kenny is related to my boss and we've done some work over there, so I am familiar with his work. He is also recommended by our own MPandC (Robert) who is going to do the body work on the fenders.
The fenders, by the way, are all pretty decent ... but ... each one has a flaw or two. Fortunately, none of the fenders share the same flaws so Robert is confident he can make a good pair out of the 6 of them. The rears are solid and not dented or creased ... just a few holes from the rust bugs ...
The hood just needs to be blasted clean and repainted
