There is a member here that goes by 'expaver' who has done a beautiful restoration of a 40-41 Tonner Express. Hopefully he shows up. I have a '46 here and there are quite a few areas that are very similar. It is a solid driver, and not 'molested', but has been pieced together from 3 trucks. I would get some dimensions or pics if that helps. There is a '41 tonner express currently listed on Facebook Marketplace in Stanwood Wa. There are quite a few pics in the ad. It's quite rough, but straight off a ranch in Montana and appears original, except for the rear fenders cut back for unloading grain . Hate it when they do that. And yes, pictures please.

Gary - Thanks for your thoughts on the Tonner. One of these days I hope to get up to Orcas and visit the famous Jailbar Ranch. Les Williams
