dodgedh2 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does nyone have drawings for the wood subframe for a 1931 UF10? I haven't disassembled the cab from the chasiss yet, but I know the wood subframe is bad and the front portion of the wood subframe is missing (rotted away), so I have no idea what it looks like. If somebody has re-wooded their DB truck and has drawings, measurements, patterns, pics, etc. I would appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'll help'ya out . On front part mine lays in lower rail section . Apparently same cowl was used on larger truck and upper rail was used on those . So that will give you the basic square dimension . Will get rest for 'ya .

ArticiferTom Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Here is some pictures of my floor , however the front section by pedals is plywood . meaning it is not original . All the pedal are just notched down from top 1/4x20 flat head bolt hold it down . There are two studs ,highlighted by cardboard, about size of 20 or 30pn nail head up about 3/8" that mat hooks to . from starter pedal center line right 2" plus 8"more to center second , I think maybe should have one on left side but mine does not .There is also a foot rest 1 3/4 " to left of starter pedal and 2" down from top . The mat is at least two pieces book pics show what looks like 3 . Small piece at top that hang over lower to cover notches and studs .http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/ArticiferTom/woodfloor.jpg,http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/ArticiferTom/floormat.jpg Edited August 14, 2015 by ArticiferTom (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgedh2 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 II have the floor boards in my truck. What I am missing is the wood subframe between the cab (metal) and frame. There is a wood subframe that runs along the top of the frame and the body metal rests on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArticiferTom Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Took another look this weekend mine has a channel steel frame between seat frame and chassis frame .However do not see why it could not be wood . Probably support cab from ground independently , until doors lay out square and grab some measurements for wood . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgedh2 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks for the help. I recieved your email and pics. Now it's time to crawl under and see just what is going on with the cowl mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Some pictures of your truck would be helpful. Have you started to take truck apart yet. Be sure to take many measurements and photos. Maybe your truck wood may be similair to mine.My truck was a screenside originaly but I choose to make it a closed cab type 805. The wood of the original truck was in real bad shape.I found that making pattern peices first out of softer white pine was agood start. Once all things lined up I used white oak for my final.
