Door stay diagram for 53 Courier
Does any one have a diagram for the door stay on the rear door of a Courier?
I believe the one on mine is missing some parts.
Thanks in advance.

Re: 1941 1/2 Ton dimensions?
The biggest difference is the bed width. ‘40/41 are 46” wide as apposed to F1 @ 48”. You can lay a 4x8’ sheet of plywood in a F1 but not in A ‘40/41.

Re: 1940 pickup carpeting?
