Thought I'd repost this. I forgot I had started it and it helped me get a feel for a project I was looking at. Have fun with it.
I'll update this with a later purchase I made for about $3,000. In the spring of 2010 I saw an add for a '46 tonner. The price was a little too high to warrant a call. Later that fall the truck appeared again with a more reasonable price. I loved the 9' box and the tin was all in good shape, I had to have it. I paid a little more than I'd have liked to but since I got my other '46 truck for practically nothing I was Ok with it.
