Technical '33 pickup box Detail Picture Please

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Flowmeister, Feb 7, 2016.

  1. Does anyone have, or could someone take a picture or two of the rear box support brackets that come off the spreader bar area and support the cross brace structure on a 33/34 Ford pickup? Also, how they attach to frame would help too.
    Mine are missing, so i'd like a good example of what I need to replicate.
    Unable to find a good picture on the internet.
    Thank you for any help!

    I happened to be doing some bodywork on my skirts and took a few where my rear box is connected. Hope it's what your after. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1454866274.139430.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1454866295.255793.jpg
     
  3. Thanks for the reply @Petejoe ,
    But not the area I was looking for.
    It looks like your frame is bobbed.

    The brackets I need to see are right behind the gas neck, there is a cross brace there and somehow that is connected to the frame at the rear spreader bar area. 55084464.jpg

    Yep it's bobbed. Mine is cut close to that area.

    I am in the same boat. My box structure was cut short.
     
  6. You can see the part I was wondering about at the 31 second mark of this video, that I jacked off youtube. It appears the brackets are actually welded to the spreader bar.
    Probably a truck specific spreader bar.

    Must bolt to the bottom of the box support structure. Although there was nothing like this on the 32 box I had.
     
  8. @dumprat This is a picture of the cross brace in question.
    It is the last one before the end piece that has the tailgate hinge brackets and stake pockets.
    I'll just have to fine a good picture of a truck spreader bar and replicate it. IMG_20160207_165136.jpg IMG_20160207_165240.jpg

    That piece must attach just behind the filler neck hole. Mine still has a small piece of that where they butchered it off.
