88-A platform Sills?
Posted: August 15th, 2017, 7:00 pm
Again working on my 29 AA Stake Truck , with the 88-A Platform Bed,and was wondering if any one the dimensions for the bolt hole placement for the
bed sills to the Platform angles and brackets (AA-88030,d3 Sill , floor sides). I've gotten the dimensions of the sills form the 88-A Platform details on aa-fords page and saved all 36 of the original style carriage bolts ,with the special head and square nuts. The 88 year old sills were not very accurate or complete to copy the hole centers from and wasn't to sure if or how far the cross members may have moved over the years. The rear cross member was bowed to the back about 3\4's of an inch ,I straightened it out, but overall the bed is square. I could always measure along the floor side sill member to each cross member from the front to the back making sure the angles are square to sills if this blueprint or dimensions don't exist. I've noticed In the front the AA-88084 bracket, body sill to frame, doesn't line up flush to the AA-88030 side sill it sits a little forward ( does anyone know far)? If someone got any info on this It would be great THANKS bob f
