Drop bottom 791 is one of the "high side" cars. The high side 700 are the most common and I have never seen a picture of a low side 800 drop bottom car. Would live to see one if anyone has one. The only one I have is the 811 before we put the top board on it 
. A lot of sweat, lumber and about 1100 bolts that had to be drilled, tightend, tails cut off and peened. Fun cars to rebuild.
