Preparing to mount new bed on my 1938 HC. I ordered bed mounting blocks from a reputable vendor. I set the blocks on the frame, and it appears to me that the rear blocks are not tall enough. I seems to me that they should be as tall as the combined height of the cross sill and its block. Does anyone know offhand what this height should be?? TNX

I have the same issue with my 40. Blocks I ordered are 3 1/2" high - I need something like
4 1/4 to come up tight to underside of bed boards?

We make those blocks 4-1/8" tall, for both series. The blocks are different, but the height is the same for both 37-39 and 40-46. If that is incorrect, I would like to know about it. The top of the rear blocks should be even with the tops of the cross sills when everything is installed, including wood blocks under the cross sills.

Thanks for the response. I will be ordering blocks from you today. After messing with these old'bolts long enough, you begin to find who the real pros are. TNX
