Hi, Quick rivet question. Could someone please check their original 88-A platform and make sure I have formed the correct rivet heads. This is the front right corner. I know based on an original that all the round head rivets in the AA-88074 "floor corner reinforcement" are correct, but I ...

Thanks Neil. If anyone is interested, I do have #6 cross members available. 2 of them are made to the exact original dimensions except the top flange is 1/2" short. I only have 1 inner shelf for these ($275 with the shelf, $250 without the shelf) 1 of them, a couple of the holes are off by 0.06...

Hi Neil, I only made all new cross members 1-6. The floor side members (AA-88091), Angle supports (AA-88061), the reinforcements and stake pockets on cross member #6 are all original. It took me a while to get to this point, I would not be able to put a number on the hours. I don't know if I am read...

So I have my 88-A platform with all new cross members fit together and perfectly square.

Now just to replace the rest of the bolts with rivets!

Hi,

Can you tell me what size flat head screws were used to install the sill plates?

Thanks,
Dave

Thank you Neil! Just to clarify the sill plates on a 1931 d3 88-A platform. It looks to me that: Sill plate AA-88064 (5-7/8" long with the U-bolt hook) was used under cross members 1, 2, 5 Sill plate AA-88066 (4" long rectangular flat plate) was used under cross members 3, 4, 6 Sill plate ...

Hi, I have 2 questions on the 88-A platform bed. I am rebuilding mine. I would really appreciate it if someone with an 88-A could get 2 pictures and measurements. #1 On the last crossmember (#6) AA-88097-B, does the crossmember rest on the wood side sills (AA-88030 d3) or does is sit above them. If ...

I second that!

Well done Neil.

Thank you very much!

Hi, I am assembling my 88-A platform bed and I have a couple of questions. 1. The 3rd stake pocket (AA-88239) from the left on the rear d3 crossmember (AA-88097-B) has a square hole in the side. Does the hole go to the right when view from standing behind the truck? 2. Two of my stake pockets have h...

Thank you all.

Hi, I am working on my 88-A platform bed. I made all new cross members, but am using the original angle brackets to side sills (AA-88061) and original side members (AA-88091). On the each end of both of the original side members (AA-88091), there are 2 punched holes. I cannot figure out what they ar...

Snyder's is out of them. They get them from Howells, but have been waiting for 2 years for a new order to be run.

I think I can make them, but I do not know what the top looks like, e.g. where all the holes are. That's why I am interested in a picture.

Dave

Thank you very much! For questions 1 & 2, I made a typo, I meant "Long Running Board Shield" (not Long Running Board) 1. Does anyone have a picture of the long running board shields for a 1931 that they would share? 2. Does anyone have a pair of nice original long running board shields...

Hi, I need some direction with my fender / shield / running board installation. I have a 2/31 AA: 1. Does anyone have a picture of the long running boards for a 1931 that they would share? The ones I have look like not well made repros. 2. Does anyone have a pair of nice original long running boards...
