In my opening photo on my post 'before and after' if you look next to my daughter's left foot you'll see the joint where I overlapped and bolted the '38 cutoff front half to the bed donor's '47 rear half. The 38 has thicker running boards so I narrowed it down until where it bolts to the front fender. Some of you will know that the '47 tonner bed is too wide for a '38, so I sectioned it down 2 1/2" to clear the tires. I have really enjoyed watching what you are building with this truck. I agree it is a total blast coming up with something like this. Is there still the 'Model T Tavern' in Hoodsport?

Yep the "Model T" is still here, I actually had lunch there today! A double stack "Model T Burger".
It's a fun project...My goal is the local small car show at the Eagle Creek Tavern in Lilliwaup this summer.
