This is a beauty. Here are some pics and a few descriptions.

Built on the '37 Ford Pickup frame and cowling
(powered by a 60-hp flathead V8 with aluminum heads),
the rear framing is all wood, with the metal skin wrapped
around it. The roof structure, too, is all wood, over which the heavy,
waterproofed canvas top is still very securely fitted. The structure of the
body is solid, appearing from underneath to be all oak, and still in a
remarkably unaltered, undamaged condition. The door frames are thick,
solid oak, and oak is visible around the window openings (as on the
four side windows in back) -- though it is painted over.

A peek inside: a slice right out of the 1930s...just as
the original owner left it. All the windows open, with curtains
on the four side ones and pull-down shades on the back window,
as well as on the driver's and passenger door windows.
A wide storage cabinet is located under the bed.

The wood headliner, with vent and canvas
expanding portion visible. Four wood pieces
hold it securely in the up position, while
clamps hold it down while driving.
