Most of the slats are full length and if they are not they butt end to end. The slats do not touch side ways. Hartz cloth is made for modern convertibles so no special care needed. The white slats in the picture were replaced slats and I glued and nailed them. Here are pictures of a removed slat.

I used Hartz clothe which is the same material used for convertibles. There is no padding used it just lays on the slats.

They must have known what they were doing as everything is straight and it laid upside down on a dirt floor we stuff on it.

Just cut. Where are you?

When I rebuilt the frame on my Moon I bought several sheets of high density foam board. I then used this material to build a mockup. I used to do model airplanes and we did it that way. The advantage of using foam board is if you cut the wrong piece off you can just glue it back using the correct glue. It is light and easily carried and put in place. You can also make templates out of Masonite. Think of it as a canoe or John boat and you will be ok. You are always welcome to come by and take measurements.

Here is picture I just posted of my 1923 using a modern coil to replace the original.

Doesn't look like Dodge bed to me. Here are pictures of mine.

Will this help

I hung the rim from a ceiling rafter to take measurements. Next I am going thru my scrap pile to find some bar stock that I can cut, weld and machine. Interesting enough I have an old hose reel that looks like it will supply the steel. I am also remanufacturing a front bumper which is missing the center pieces and it looks like this reel will also work. I have to go to a wedding in Italy next month, so I need to get this done before I leave. Any other pictures I can provide from my truck. Jan

Al here are some pictures and I will get you measurements later. I also have two spare spare mounts if they will help.

All but one. Do you need pictures?

I wonder if my mounts are for your car. My 23 Moon has disc wheels and demountable rims. Learn something every day.

Mark could I get a copy of that page. The mounts I have locates the spare tire to close to the fender and you can not mount a tire on it. Thanks jan

Mark what I have doesn't fit just looks good.
