Default wood

Hi Jim,

I cannot comment on the F8, having never seen one. But on the C8, the wood fillers don't extend beyond the cab .

BTW that welded chassis rail would have the roadworthy people here in fits . To get that past an inspection now, it would have to be X rayed and certified by an engineer or similar. Beaurocratic games !

Mike

Mike:
Thanks for your quick reply! I suspected that the C8 might be different as it uses a pair of steel rails affixed to the frame to support the gas tanks. As the Ford's support is a wood plank I thought that this spacer might be extended.

Oh yeah! The safety people would have a fit over this factory-made splice. It's present on both sides and the inside channel reenforcing the weld is a very tight fit. A well done job!

Regards,
Jim
