I am hoping by this Fall to start on making a C-Cab Model A body. I think I can modify the 255A Special Delivery body to get this done. My question is: Where can I find patterns for the sub-frame wood for a body like this?

Jay Cramer. I've read that he bought out the Plans and business from the Hudson Wagon Works of years ago. His Address is below, best time to reach him, I believe is after 7 PM est.

I called Jay last night. He doesn't have a C-cab body plan but will send what he does have available. I am hoping to modify one of his plans. Thanks for the info on Jay.

The Body You see in my Avatar, was built from the Old Hudson Wagon Works Plans, that I bought from Jay Cramer. I think you could figure out how to Modify the Floor Plan to Fit your C-Cab Body.

Jazzjr,
Thanks for the reply. I figured that I will have to make my own patterns for the body. I do have a few pictures of the C-Cab in my original post. I mostly need to figure out the wood sub rails. Above that, I should be able to work of the pictures I have. I see your rear fenders aren't recessed into the body. Are you using the wide body fenders?

I used 1/4 Lexan for the Long Rear windows. I bought a full 4x8 sheet and used the left over for the Front Doors.

Ken, I used 1931 Wide Bed Fenders, although they are Gibbons Fiberglass, I couldn't find any Originals. I thought about cutting down Coupe fenders, but am happy with the Fiberglass ones.
