Dale Uhrich Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I have a group of high side short pickup boxes.(1948-1949-1950). It seens the part below the tailgate is different from one box to another. Some have four holes on each end and some have only two holes on each end with welded nuts inside. Does anyone have pictures of the two types and what they bolt to?? Quote
Reg Evans Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Dale, Is this the difference you are referring to? My high sided box has a much thicker piece under the tailgate than my low sided box does. High Side.....Older Yeller Low Side.......Old Yeller Quote
Bob_Koch Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I have my boxes apart right now while I'm getting ready to redo them. I found two different type of bars go under the tailgate. The top one is from a short bedside, the wider lower bar is from a highside. These are '52's. Hope this helps. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 My truck has the wider one, but my truck also has the wider / longer bed since it is a 3/4 ton, so it may not help you. Quote
Dale Uhrich Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 actually my part is different than all those. I did figure it out although. one box is like the first picture with two L shaped brackets at each back corner of the box and the back brace bolted them with 4 bolts on each side.(shown in picture.) The other box has a brace like the last picture but is straight across and bolts directly to the box sides with no other parts needed. either will work for me as long as I quit trying to combine the wrong pieces together. THANKS FOR THE HELP Quote
