SER1 Missing door top brackets - 1951 S1 80

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/06/03]

Hi all:

The restoration of my 1951 S1 80 is underway and we have found that the Y-shaped brackets on the front of the door tops have been cut off.  I need a close up picture of a door top showing the bracket, plus measurements of the diameter  of the rod stock and enough measurements of the bracket so new ones can be fabricated. Unfortunately there are no Series 1 trucks locally which I can go and get measurements from, so your assistance would be much appreciated.

As far as status, parts are being removed in preparation for re-galvanizing, and other parts are being bagged, marked and set aside.  The speedometer and fuel gauge are being rebuilt at a specialty company. Digital photographs are being taken of the teardown and will be posted on the Series One Garage site when they become available. 

Regards,
