    Splash aprons are not as tall as stock either. One pic shows what looks like the chevy frame horns. I wonder if there's a chance they used the chevy frame???

    Your new find is super cool! Here's one from the Miracle of America Museum in Polson Mt. It was a little dark and cramped inside, so excuse the pictures.

    Americana at it's finest. The Mail must go thru, but not quickly. The rear of this is really nicely done, thanks for giving it a good home.

    Seems that they were more concerned about mail delivery getting through back then than they are nowadays!
