Mail/map pouches

Post by JPP »

I am looking to put mail/map pouches in my 29 CCPU. I have the wood and the sheetmetal. Does anyone have an image or dimensions, so I can mount correctly? Anything will help. Thanks

JPP are you saying the steel pockets that Ford put in the rear corners of '29 truck cabs are missing on your truck, or are you looking for something else?

Yes, the pouches in the rear corners. Not sure how the wood blocks work with them.

Bob, so then there are screw heads on the outside of the cab to hold in the wood.

Ok, I am good with the rivets but how do I screw the top of the pocket in, not a lot of room. What is the wood for? Decoration?
