A bit about to this Mail Truck. Apparently a gent from Silver Creek, NY built up this body on an early 31 chassis. It has a 1930 engine. The build had to have been completed in the 80’s or early 90’s. The wood work is obviously well crafted however this body is not correct to original PO specs. It would take a complete rework to get to that standard. There are changes I can do to get closer but , frankly , she was never intended to be anything but a fun driver and for that she looks just fine. My goal is to rig her as an Air Mail Truck for puttering about the little airstrip where I live. But first we need to log some southbound miles. Stay tuned!
