Rear rack dimensions

Post by AAholic »

Is there anyone that could provide me with the center line to center line dimensions of the rear rack stake pockets (externally mounted) for an 88-a platform body?
The rear cross member on this truck was replaced and for sure the pocket on the right is way off which makes me question the location of the others.

Hello John,
Here is a picture of my #6 crossmember on my 29 AA which I believe is designated a 188-A, the dimentions are,---total width of the bed is 73-1/4",--- from the left side to the center of the first pocket is 11" - from there it is 18-1/2" to the center of the next pocket,--- and then to the center of the crossmember is 7".
Hope this helps, Brian.
