Late 31 steel top pickup
Between the top and the two steel support ribs is what looks like a rope about 1/2" in dia. It looks original but is hard and want to replace it. calling different suppliers, no one knows what it is. Any ideas? Paul

Re: Late 31 steel top pickup
There does not appear to be anything under mine but I'm sure there is at least some anti-rattle material there. A 1/2" rope is too big and nothing like it is used anywhere on the late '31.

Re: Late 31 steel top pickup
Here are some shots of original anti-rattle rope from a Budd cab.
This was sent to me by John Charlton when I was restoring my truck and he gave me the unique top bows for the roof (Thanks again John!). -Tim

I have a "like new" set on my bench. Went another way with mine.
