Spanky, not sure what type of body it may have had on it and the son it law (Curtis) didn't know the history on the truck other than it sat in a barn for several years there on the Eastern Shore before they got it. It appeared that the frame from the cab back had been lengthened or modified at least once. From the center of the rear axle to the end of the rails I think was probably 5 feet or so. John can probably give the accurate measurements. For a farm truck hauling grain or potatoes, a sleeper probabaly wouldn't be nessesary. My guess would be some type of box but who knows. John and Curtis exchanged info and hopefully he will find out more about it from his father in law. Curtis had a few other Stovebolts that may even end up here on the site for sale.
We had a a fun day thats for sure. I think with a little help to the carb and we would have been driving. I'm thinking, Homecoming project!
Dave, with exhaust missing just past the collector and the above mentioned carb issue, it was hard to keep the fire IN her!
Thanks John, Grigg, John H., Doug and Mike. A bonus for the day was setting the cab back on Doug's truck. Another milestone for his truck's restoration project.
