I think your 39 may be like the 37's. Yes, ther is a spacer. I believe the blocks of wood are 2 1/4" X 2 1/4". someone will have to verify that. And put a little piece of rubber between the chassis and the wood.

Note, I seen where someone had the ida to use plastic blocks...just an idea to consider.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

As Alvin says, wood blocks with a 1/4" thick spacer between wood & steel. I used a high density industrial plastic material rather than rubber.

The 37-39 Short Step had 6 blocks - 4 small blocks and 2 large ones. The kits we sell also include 6 rubber pads 1/4" thick.
Hope this helps.
