Once home, however it finally arrives, she'll get some cosmetic work to reflect my preference for US Air Mail livery, some undercoating to protect the wood bottom and any mechanical issues we discover on the road home. I realize that this is not a totally accurate Mail Truck. It will be a driver that I can enjoy, one passenger at a time, with my kids and grandkids. And the guys hanging around our local airport as well. We're always looking for some fun trouble to get into.

Good luck, keep us posted, this is really interesting. For sure with a truck like that, plenty of room for spares/tools/luggage/whatever you need.
