I have an unrestored suvivour 29 CCPU . The floor boards in the bed are long gone. I have plenty of seasoned and weathered oak from which I can make floor boards. I really dont want to purchase new ones and distress them to look right for the as found condition the truck is in. Is there a source for patterns/plans? Thanks Rick
 
Yes,there are measurements available.In the book,The Model A as Henry built it there is a diagram with all spec's.I always felt that is a book to have as it is full of factory and era pictures,not a pretty picture book like Henry's lady.
 
here u go! be careful tho ... i cut a set from these plans before i knew that my early (January 28) bed was 2 or so inches longer than the later ... had to recut a set .. compare these measurements to your bed before you cut!!!

I used this drawing (in Charles Reese' post) and they came out almost perfect. I had to trim a little off on most of the lengths. I suspect that the boxes were not all made within 1/16". I made mine out of oak and finished them with 4 coats of spar varnish. Don/WI

Exactly, and how come the bad book (Henry's Lady) costs almost twice what the good book costs?
The Minneapolis library won't even let "Henry's Lady" get checked out because they think it's too valuable to risk being stolen.
 
many thanks for all the input. I get up at 3:30 AM so have not been able to respond to your posts untill tonight. This site is the best!!! Thanks Rick
