Research – 82-A Closed Cab Hinge Pillar Design?

[Neil Wilson]

See revised photos in post #5 below.

The first attached picture shows an unusual design of the 82-A closed cab left hinge pillar. Has anyone seen this design? I am quite sure that this hinge pillar was from an early 1929 79-A panel delivery.


The first picture shows the location for the side view mirror is 9" from the bottom of the upper hinge to the center line of the two mirror bracket mounting holes. The mounting holes are 2" on center and a tapping bar (or something) is attached to the inside of the pillar which have 5/16-24 threads for the dome (oval) headed hex bolts used to install the A-17741 mirror bracket.


The second picture shows the location of the d-nuts for the side view mirror is 6-3/4" from the bottom of the upper hinge to the center line of the d-nuts. These 5/16-24 d-nuts are also spaced 2" on center for the installation of the A-17741 mirror bracket.
