1 THE 229-A SERVICE BODY WOOD DIMENSIONS By Neil Wilson of Boulder, Colorado February 6, 2007 Note that the dimensions shown in this document have not been used to reproduce production parts. Only some of the original parts were available for patterns and some of the original parts were partially missing due to rotting. Consequently, missing parts were calculated based on the parts available. Baseline Structure The side pillars are notched for mounted on the cargo floor. The floor boards are 44-1/2 wide. This floor board width is based on two original floor boards plus confirming information provided by Ron Neumann for his Service Car. The drawing below shows a floor board with the #1 (front) pillars and some dimensions. This is the baseline structure for other drawings dealing with body width such as the tool box. This baseline structure is very important for the body-tocab fit. The baseline structure needs to be verified against an actual Service Car before producing most of the wood parts. If a change is needed, then some of the drawings need to be changed as well. The baseline structure needs to be verified to insure that the Service Body will properly connect to the cab without causing distortion of the Service Body side panels. Note that welting was used between the cab and Service Body (like fender welting). Consequently, there should be enough space to allow the welting to fit. 3'-11 1/16" pillar-to-pillar width AA B Pillar (side) #1 pillar pillar width between top edges of side sills 3'-10 1/ 3'-8 1/ Anti squeak material 1/8" thick side sill floor board width between bottom edges of side sills 3'-10 1/16" side sill 3'-10 5/16" width outside of anti-squeak 1

2 General Information Drawings for the side pillars were produced on the computer by measuring the original pieces. These drawings were enlarged to 100% and printed so that the drawings could be checked against the original parts. It was discovered that the outside curve of the original parts were not all exactly the same. The curve of each pillar should however be the same and should be the same as the cab or doors. Consequently, the drawings for the side pillars were modified accordingly. It is believed that the pillar drawings are accurate at this point. The floor consists of a floor sill assembly and cargo floor boards which are together 2-1/2 thick. The total width of the floor is /2 (the outside, top edge of AA B RH floor side sills to the outside of AA B LH floor side sills). The total length of the floor is /16 (front of AA floor cross sill #1 to the front side of AA B upper floor cross sill #5). The floor side sills are notched at each pillar. The notches are as wide as the pillar and are 1 deep. Consequently, the width is 3 8-1/2 from the inside of the notches across the floor sill assembly. This is the same width as each floor board. The following is a partial list of those parts used to develop all dimensions. Floor Sill Assembly: AA B Sill (floor side) LH - this part was based on Bill Cilker s Service Car. Since the body was assembled it was hard to get an accurate measurement of the width. However, pieces of the two sills from Ron Neumann s 229-A (prior to body number 250) helped confirm the 4-1/4 sill width as well as the 3-1/4 width at the wheel well. AA Sill (floor cross) #1 - this part was based on Bill Cilker s Service Car. It is 3 wide by 2-1/2 thick and actually forms the front of the cargo floor as well as being a cross sill. AA Sill (floor cross) #2 - this was a complete part which I have and provided accurate measurements. AA B Sill (floor cross) #3 this part is based on the original from Bill Cilker s Service Car. Unfortunately the corresponding side sill is not available so that the location can be verified. However, this cross member has the side pillar to floor bracket bolt holes and corresponding relieves on the bottom for the washers and nut (so that this hardware does not extend below the bottom of the cross member). Therefore, the location is on the side sills is based on this information. It may be that this cross member was located where the rear of the optional auto crane was to be placed (just not sure on this). To be continued

12 Tool Box - Back Wall These measurements are based on all original parts except for board #1 and the bottom cleat. The height of board #1 was determined by the location of the metal tool box lid. The lid rests on tool box side finish strips which are attached to the bottom of the side top rails. Consequently, the bottom edge of the closed lid is level with the bottom edge of the side top rails. The tool box back wall must be high enough for the lid s piano hinge to be screwed to the top edge of the wall. The bottom cleat dimensions are based on information provided by Bill Cilker from his Service Car. The bottom dimension shown of 3 8-1/4 is the same as the baseline structure and also agrees with the width of the original #4 board. The top dimension shown of /8 is also the same as the baseline structure. These two dimensions subsequently defined the angle of the sides of the back wall as being 6.66 degrees and determined the width of board # 2, #3 and #4. The calculated width of board #2 is and the actual width of the original board is This is.1367 (approximately 1/8 ) greater. By projecting this 1/8 increase to the top of board #1, the top dimension would increase 3/16 to /16. It should be noted that the top dimension of /8 does not agree with Ron Newmann s measurement of /2. For either the projected measurement of /16 or Ron s measurement of /2 to work, the top width of the baseline structure would need to be increased slightly at each pillar. This would in turn require modification of the pillars which I believe are currently drawn accurately. Note again that the baseline structure measurements must be verified for accuracy before cutting any wood parts.

13 Tool Box - Front Wall These measurements are based on only the following original parts - a partial board #3, the bottom cleat, and one of the center cleats. Photographs of Bill Cilkers Service Car were also used to develop illustration #9. The tool box front wall fits inside of the side finish boards and is therefore 1 less in width than the back wall. The height was determined based on the tool box lid. The height of each board was based on the original screws found in the center cleat.
