I just acquired this Chicago Box and pan brake from a local auto body restorer. It's an older model 60" brake, which is no longer manufactured. A former PO put heavy casters under it which makes it easier to move around.
The main feature of a box and pan brake are the removable fingers. With them all in place a bend can be made the full length of the brake, but fingers can be removed to bend the ends of a pan after the sides are already bent.
