wedges
My '36 half-ton had 3 wedges between cab and frame per side . . .
(per side, to be placed atop each other for frontal-cab height adjustment.) So minimal - the adjustment! Reason? Thank you. |

Re: wedges
Were these wedges all the same size? Are there "standard" measurements, or are they just cut to fit?

It's been 20 yrs+- ago. The shop pulled the cab (for frame painting) and there they were!(unstacked but very close together on top of the frame .) After painting, I put 'em back, stacked, same each side; viewed as the cab was bolted tight. I can't imagine the difference that they would make, for whatever their purpose, but they were there for a reason, obviously. Truck is 150 mi east, but still on the road! Hopefully someone has some info. Got me hangin'. Last edited by highbeams; 04-18-2022 at 10:31 PM. |

Re: wedges
Does your cab have the wooden platforms that were there when assembled?
