Britcon,
I crawled in as close as I could on your pics. There seems to be a difference between yours ('40), and my '39. I can't tell for sure. I will have to get it back together enough to work the latch system, and see what's happening.
I just primered the box, and front pieces. The body is done and mounted. I'm slow.
That's a really fine looking truck that you have.
We just came back from Hot August Nights in Reno. The only old chev truck that we saw was a '36. No '39s or '40s. And I saw no 235s in anything. We probably saw a small percentage of all that was there, but a good sampling, none the less. I think our trucks are becoming increasingly rare.
Thanks for the pictures and the effort.
