Thanks everybody. That 71 3/4t is looking good. What's great about these trucks is they are classic vehicles ready for chores. I just go by my name in business these days, although the company name I used since the early-80s is still the official name. It's just me and I'm not putting up any facade. But I do think about hanging a sign out front and getting serious going for only historic work. I have a name thought up already, "The Old Home Folks".

I bought that wood as planed 4-side 1" stock. I used biscuits and glue to make sections. Once sections were assembled I used casting resin in knots, nail holes, joints, anywhere with a gap or seam. By the time I belt sanded that down I had a nice plane across the top. I put the two sections at that inside corner together in place, resin, put up a dust barrier, fan in the window and sanded away. The finish is polyurethane, satin Helmsman. That's what I used on my butcher block counters I did years years ago. But I did another kitchen counter top since then and used Waterlox. She wanted poly in her kitchen, but that's what I like best these days.

Added pictures... and one of the truck in a rare moment these days... No cap or ladder racks!
