The pine boards in my '48 were very rotten when I disassembled a year ago and I mde no attempt to keep them or even record the widths. The cross rails have multiple hole and impossible to determine correct widths. I have the 8 oak boards from a friends project, that are still in good condition. Have obtained one extra from a local sawmill. Question is. What are the widths of each of the 9 boards in a '48 PU? I can cut/rip what I have to the correct width.
9 boards width 4 1/4" 5" 5 1/2" 5 1/2" 6 3/8" 5 1/2" 5 1/2" 5" 4 1/4" Measurement should be the same as the holes in your "cross rails".
Thanks Keystoner. That is perxactly what I needed. There are fron 22 to 28 holes in each of the crossmembers. . Could not tell which ones were that right ones.
