Now, I could be wrong, but every 806 stock i ever saw was 4-wheel, not 8-wheel. AND they were orange or green, NOT Baby Poo Brown and hand lettered Katy. All had a black enameled steel frame and floor, NOT wood, and since they didn't have trucks per se, there was no need for WOOD SCREWS to hold the improper trucks on.

Cost you a lot more than the $25.71 (plus shipping) asked (and howintheheck do they come up with a BIN like that) to locate and obtain a proper frame and floor, HOPE the tabs in the body are still there and usable to mount the body to frame/floor, strip the paint, locate and purchase the proper restoration colors, number plates, probably end ladders, even tho seller refuses to show ends, and then you'll have a restored car worth less than a nice original.

AH! BUT WAIT! Has an original box for some 806 that was yellow....but the box is falling apart.....

It's an 806 body, painted baby poo brown, hand lettered, missing hardware, wood floor, and MUCH later prewar trucks.
The body, if I remember, has tabs on the bottom that fit into slots in the real original metal frame and bend over. No tabs.
Junk.
