Like many other unique features of this vehicle design, the cross braces are used to support the steps, and also to support the front fenders. The wheels are mounted. A lot of details yet to be added. I am still looking for a fake business logo for the side panels.

There are 6 tension brackets that were used to hold the cargo box to the frame, shown here.

A preview..... cargo box sitting on frame.

The rear fender are attached.

The vertical golf tee-looking thing is the oil filler tube. The tube is open at the top, but it does have a filter screen to keep larger particles out of the engine.

The driveshaft, exhaust pipe, muffler, tailpipe and bracket. Note the t-bracket that compresses the intake and exhaust pipes to the head.

A preview of the final color. Rough at this point, but I like the color. I'm still looking for an appropriate business logo for the truck. Most likely a lumber company.

The "BRUSH" logo is stamped into the radiator shell, as depicted here.

Upper radiator hose attached. The hood is used as a locating guide to make sure the radiator is properly set. This also ensures the the hood fits tightly between the cowl and radiator.

Intake pipe, carb, and lower radiator hose.

Engine in place. There is a crank starter shaft bearing that will pull the engine back to a vertical position.

Drive chains glued to rear suspension.

The drive chains look pretty grimey!

The rear cargo doors open and close. A lot of filing and grinding to get them parallel and tight when shut.

The four-corner extension springs in place.
