Does any body have the dimensions (Height) of the blocks?
My truck had small pieces of scrap pipe in place of these, when I tore it down, and they were not..uughhh consistent...
so.....any help would be appreciated.

Just took the original wooden blocks off my 51 Panel truck.
As rusty as this piece was the blocks were surprisingly nice. Coulda reused them.
I bought the new wooden replacements ( I think they were $16 or $18 )
and soaked them in Thompsons water seal (Used for decks). Should last
way longer than me...!
