The Ford Barn

Vic in E-TN · 08-31-2013, 02:21 PM

A friend is doing a lot of interior restoration work on a newly acquired Vicky and he showed me a piece of steel that was in the bottom of the door posts - front side at the bottom. It is about 4 inches long with a few holes through it. It is approximately 1/2 in by 1/2 inch square. There is nothing screwed to it, it just sits there on both sides. I have never seen anything like it in my sedans.

Does anyone know the purpose for these pieces?

Thanks,
Vic
