The Ford Barn

I had the same issue with the AA, the unit had been bounced over some pretty rough terrain and broke every mounting point out of the cab. Up Front they incorporated to steel straps to use as mounts (and of course had to drill three holes each to bolt the straps to the fire wall). This went well with the two 2" holes in the firewall for some hydraulic pump hoses. All in all there was at least 42 holes that should not be in the wall and like I said every mount long broken away. Still, the sheet metal and wood were well preserved from all the Hyd. oil. I took some measurements off my fathers 82-B for the front mount build, let me know if you need them. Cheers!
