Edit 8/20: This is from a discussion that was in the Project Journals: 1927 Chevrolet Capitol 1-ton -- Full frame-off resto. If you want to see any of it. (The *you* in these posts is John. wave )

If you want to be as adventurous as I am trying to be, but I'm recreating a 901 Hercules box. 8ft long, 44" wide with 14" high sides clad in steel.

Wood is southern yellow pine except for the cross pieces under the floorboards which are various hardwoods from salvaged cribbing lumber.
I'm making most of the metal bracketry myself.

I wish I could find latches like in the second to last photo (which are on Deans canopy express Justin)
