Also the floor he is sitting on is held up by some pretty big chains, given that there isn't much cross- bracing as you can see by the sag in the middle.

The chains look to be of much

Does anyone know if this wagon came from Andrew Downie (Walter L.Main Show) fall of 1924? Or was it shop built by the Ranch crew? Lots of photos of it later on, but haven't found anything of it being on the Main show.
Thanks again for sharing your photos with us.
