'35 pickup cab wood clarification

Heard

Well-known member
Can someone please clarify for me the anti squeek stuff that goes on the cab wood as to number and location?

I only recovered 2 pieces of this stuff from my '35 pickup. Does this stuff go between the frame rail and the wood and also between the cab and the wood? Also, does it go around all 3 bolt holes?

Thanks,
Heard

Heard,

The rubber material fits between the frame and the wood and a for every hole.

Originally the rubber was attached to the wood with two tacks to hold them in place and each piece of wood was attached to the cab sheet metal with two small wood screws. This way the cab could be lowered on to the frame from above with the wood and rubber staying in place. Hope this explanation makes sense.

Here's the text from pages 16-17 of my book. While it's specific to 1935-36 Truck cabs, the pickup cab is very similar.
Closed cabs are mounted on top of the frame rails with eight bolts and six hardwood blocks. Each wood block is attached to the underside of the cab with two No. 6 x 3/8″ flathead wood screws to hold the blocks in place on the bottom side of the cab until it was bolted to the frame. A rubber insulating pad (1 ½″ wide, 2 ½″ long and 5/32″ thick), with a punched ½″ diameter hole, is attached to the underside of the wood blocks at each mounting hole location. The pad serves as a cushion and vibration insulator. The rubber pads are held in place on each wood block with two No. 6 x ¾″ tacks.
