GTB stake sides and Hood bow question?

[Bodger Baz]

can any helpful GTB owners on the forum help me out with the dimensions for the stake sides and hood bow dimensions.

i need to know the overall height of the stake sides, the metal upright part

The overall height with the hood bows fitted

dimensions of the wooden slats

overall height of the cab hood bow(s).

Thanks

I am somewhat certain the side rack/troop seat metal components are the same as CCKW. The bow corners and bows are also CCKW/M series, just the bow is shorter. Not sure about the bow stave length.

I believe the troop seats etc.. from a G-506 1 1/2 Chevy are exactly the same. I know of chevy locally with troop seats, just wating for the snow to melt to go and take a look. A far as the cab bows go, the is one in Wisconsin (kevin Kronlund) that I hope to get measurements from this summer. I'll try to remember to email you some pictures/ numbers when I get them........If not email me to remind me
