Is the bed on a 1954 1/2 ton the same width as an earlier model 3/4 ton? Both are AD trucks.
Also, will the bed support cross rails from the 54 1/2 work on the earlier 3/4?

What are the dimensions of the wood blocks that support the cross sills?

Thanks!

Read. All the pages describing bed changes.

Same width
No wood blocks in 1954

Ok, thanks for the info! I am working on a 47, but have cross sills from a 54, so I am wondering if they will work. What were the size of the blocks on the earlier years (of AD)?

tclederman, is there a way to get that manual printed out? It looks really handy.

Print it out page-by-page?

Or, buy it for $35 plus shipping.
