I cut down sum ash and had lumber made. About ten years ago.I had staked up stairs. So thought it was time to build a six post delivery express wagon.
I started with making the body mounts.

32 chevy vett · 02-07-2013, 07:06 PM

I primed and painted the frame work. Worked on the floor boards and side boards.

Thanks
Scott

Thanks guys I said at the beginning I had the lumber made up. I just had a C.M.S. attack. I milled them up my self with a Alaskan chainsaw mill.
Visionary I bought an original that was all a part.The firewall and roof were missing.
I made them up. And traced all the parts on a roll of paper. After ten years in the shop. I saved all I could. And went by photos for the rest.

Hi TnA There is no reason you can't do that. As long as you got a 29 Reo frame.
I will try to give more detail photos. If you come to a spot. You need help. Let me know.

No , Its only 2 posts, The post is right where my left shoulder is, Sometimes not to comfortible and I used touring fenders, wished I had used hack fenders so it would be wider, other than that its been a ball and lots of miles. Wish I could post better pic's.
