It sounds to me that you have a frame that was intended originally for a car body and not a Open Cab/Closed Cab body.

All frames were "drilled" for car bodies. However when a Open Cab/Closed Cab was waiting in line to be adapted or assembled to this "car" frame on the assembly line, IT IS THOUGHT that some sort of template was layed on the top of the frame and thus the holes to attach the back of the body were thus drilled in the frame for attachment of those two body styles.

I do not think that within the Standards showing the "frame (nut, bolt and lockwasher) chart" tells of this.

This is why you have no bolt holes for your 1929 Closed Cab body.
