Hello guys,
Need some help here. Need dimensions of the cab mounting wood blocks for a 1942-47 1/2 ton. I did have the info but lost it with a bloody computer melt down! Had printed a couple of copies, can't find um for the life of me. Need to confirm that what's on my truck ain't squished down, I think they are.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks,
Martin.
 
That would be great, it's the long block under the front cab mounting that I need confirmation on the thickness (hight) of please.

Sorry for the delay. The blocks are 14 3/4" long. The thickness of the material is 1 5/8". That would be side to side dimension as mounted. This 1 5/8" seems constant front to back. At the frint end the block is 1 3/4" thick and at the rear it is 3/4" thick. The first hole is centered at 1 1/8" from front end. There may be some curvature to the taper, but hard to see as is mounted. There is a rubber/fabric pad like belting about 1/4" thick under the block at the two mounting surfaces. Hope this helps.

I could measure mine, if you still need it. The truck is assembled, so I wasn't sure how helpful I could be? I can take a photo, too. Mine were replaced, so who knows how accurate they are, too.
 
Thanks guys,
Preacher man, GB has given me what I need.
I'll check mine when I get home.
Cheers,
Martin.
 
Yup, mine are squished down to 1 1/2".
Ill knock up some new ones out hard wood.
Again,
Thanks,
Martin.
