30-31 Truck interior pix

[Farrell In Vancouver]

Hey all, getting around to gathering materials to finish the 131" AA Truck and I would like some interior detail shots of 82B cabs. Any good shots of wind-lacing, panels, seals, fasteners, kick panels,etc would help. Especially the door windlacing if any have shots of originals.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers

Here are some pictures of a 1931 widebed in our club. This is an original with only a little upkeep.

Here's a few more.

Here are some pictures from a 18,000 mile tanker truck. Notice where the seam for the bottom seat cushion is located. The cardboard trim pieces are made of the same material as the inside cowl covers on cars.

Thanks gents!
This proves what Neil W was telling me about the covers on the windlacing being of the same fabric as the seat. Bill did you ever examine the door panel fasteners and take any pix?
Tom the rear seat back fasteners in the wide bed, I see were tabs and screws. Was this peculiar to the wide bed cabs or all late 31's in general. My cab has wide hooks welded to the inside curve of the rear belt rail.

Farrell, I don't know.

Here is a picture that Neil Wilson posted of a 31 seat back that has the same mounting
as the one Tom posted. My late 31 steel top has the same mounting.

The first 82-B cabs had the seat back installation hardware shown in the attachments. And, some of the first 82-B cabs didn't have the wood stiffener above the seat.

The third attachment shows the two styles of hardware.

Mine was like the first of Niel's pix, with two broken off that I later replaced. I thought model A's went through a lot of changes in 28! Seems the evolutions just kept going on and on.

Farrell:
Neil Wilson asked me to send you some high res closeups of the interior of my unrestored '31 AA (had 36,000 miles on it when I bought it 30 years ago). It still has all of the original interior with windlace, side panels, etc.

Send me a PM with your email address so I can send the photos.

Thanks,
Fred
