Hi, I just bought a basket case truck that needs alot of work. I am a woodworker and would love drawings of blocking, tops and any bracing. Does anyone have a source ?. I don't mind paying, just want to make the parts myself.

Is there enough left of the wood to make patterns?

no, someone did a jackleg job of the cab blocks. I have one original door post that i can replicate. The top was not done well so I need to redo it.

Welcome to the club. You may end up buying the wood and then tweaking it to work. Sounds like you can replicate anything in wood but without a pattern to work from you may be stuck. You are luck there isn't much there. Where are you located? Someone may have one you can look at and make notes on. Join a club as well, more knowledge that way.

Thanks so much for your reply's. I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew. I've always wanted one of these trucks. It will keep me young learning what I need to know to restore this truck.
