I have the makings of a 28/29 roadster pickup. I have an original cowl, quarters, and doors. I need a set of subrails. I met a gentleman that has a set of brookville subrails that came with a bunch of parts he bought. How can I confirm that they are 28/29 roadster pickup subrails and not closed cab subrails? Is there anything obvious or does any one have measurements that I can reference? I just don't want to buy something that I can't use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ralphie,
First, my dimensions might be off a fraction as these are the originals and have been rebuilt, but it should be within 1/4 ". These dimensions work, as I once had the body assembled, but now it is not. (long story, but it is on it's way to being assembled again).
Length of side-rails 40 1/4"
width at front 34 1/4"
width at rear 41 1/4" from top outside of raised portions
front crossmember from front 14 1/4"
rear crossmember from rear 9 "
between two crossmembers 9 "
'hole' is 36 " at front and 33 " at rear (the floorpanel you can buy fits it)
