Re: Model A Pickup Beds
OK, I have a picture of the underside of an original bed. It came from the Mack Hil's booklet. It is in rough condition, but you can see the grooves on the underside. SeaSlugs, I believe is correct. I still believe the bent in part of the square washer goes into the space between the wood planks. Note the orientation of the square washer in Mack Hil's picture. I guess it probably doesn't really matter which way they are oriented. The underside of the original bed in the picture is too far gone to determine which way the washers were installed. I don't agree with 1930-pickup about the grooves or the "bit into the wood". The washers can't move much either way - either between the planks or in the grooves.
