The Ford Barn

I'am installing the body blocks on my 29 Closed Cab Pickup. Do the rubber pads on the body blocks go on the topside or bottomside of the blocks??? The blocks go on the rear side of cab and under the seat blocks.

The pad is an anti squeak measure that is placed on the bottom of the blocks there the block rests on the aprons or welt of the frame rails. The upper portion of the block fits against the applicable locations of the body sub rail sections.

This link from the HAMB has a good diagram.

Yep. Rotor wrench is right. Photo of our unrestored 30 Tudor. Body never been off the frame. Pads on the bottom against the frame.
