Mounting pickup box.
My son and I are building a 1930-31 CCPU. I have the original body mounting wood. Were looking in a vender catalog and do not find pickup box mounting wood. How does the box mount to frame.
Thank you for your time. Terry aka dirt t |

I replaced all of the wood with 100X50X2.5 mm (4" X 2") rectangular steel tube that went the whole length of the box. I welded spacers inside so it didn't crush when I tightened the bolts and mounted the bumper on that. Nice and solid. I like the peace of mind. I might even put a tow bar on it later and I'm sure it will be strong enough.

Re: Mounting pickup box.
The brackets shown in post 3 should be part of your bed. Also, the photo is deceiving, as there is some shaping of the wood surface that contacts the frame. I considered making my own, but in hind site, im happy i just bit the bullet and bought them.

Re: Mounting pickup box.
Agree with Russ, underside of those wooden beams is where the sections are cut out to fit chassis/and bumper brackets etc. I had to purchase the Z bracket because they were missing and also Agree they were actually part of box /bed.

Re: Mounting pickup box.
These are the drawings I made years ago from the sills I bought for my Pickup. If you can't see them clearly, pm me and I will send them to your email.
