30 Roadster PU Wood Question

Need to know where to find detailed info on the wood pieces that go behind the seat back in a 1930 Roadster PU. I have the 3 pieces that run up from the riser and the two pieces that go behind the back side of the door opening. My question is what do the three upright strips attach to at the top edge of the cab? In the picture below I show two of the upright wood pieces just setting in place on top of thr back edge of the riser.
I see that Bratton sells a wood kit item 39460 that most likely includes the part in question but I would like to see what the part by itself looks like.
Thanks for any help on this.

There should be three square holes in the back of the
cab for carriage bolts to hold the top of the boards.

The top of each upright bolts straight through the back of the cab with a large domed headed bolt. Bolt head is body colour.

Thanks for the replies. That makes sense. My cab does not have the necessary holes as someone has done extensive body work on the cab and apparently filled the holes in. Regarding the holes are they just a cut out in the metal or is there some sort of reinforcement around the opening?

Thanks again,
Regards,

From memory the 3 holes are stamped through the metal with no reinforcing around them. I think they were a square hole to take a carriage bolt.
