I am building a 1936 1\2T high cab. I say building because everything was apart when I bought it. This truck has wooden sills that mount on top of the frame. I have located the front section and I can connect the sill to that. How, what and where do I connect the rear bolts. Anyone know where I can get this information?

Thanks

If I understand you then you are wanting to connect the bolts that are behind the seat. On mine it is all wood also. There are two big springs with plates and a floating bolt in the center that hold down the wood to the frame or wood block underneath to the frame(metal frame of course) Anyway this spring kind of holds down and also keeps the back of the truck sort of floating and keeps it from bouncing up as well. Maybe you can see these in your parts. Should be a whole in the frame to accept all this. Mine were very rusty and needed some furbishing to work. I haven't seen any for sale anywhere.

Mine is a 37 but this is a pic of the old and new. There are some pics on my photobucket of the mounts before I removed them. this is one shot on page 6 and some others on page 7 of photobucket album if this helps any

I got mine from Jim Carter

was this the cb205 set. I knew there were wood blocks under the front, didn't realize there were also wood blocks in the back mounts also.

Yes CB205. Only thing with the 36 is the rear cab mounts were too short.

I didn't realize that was the springs and such that would work for the '34 as well. Thanks for the info! I can replace those rusty ones i have.
