Cargo door rocker

Yes, so the illustration is probably correct for 53-55 (including Single Cabs)
With 50-52 maybe having no Holes or Dimples?
Or are there still the Holes over the B-post/semaphore jacking point?

Finally found one of the pics I was looking for. Everett's photo of Mark Merz' '55 standard. Has this been repaired? I can't see any dimples.

I think they got blown out on that photo.
They are there - I have some more photos of the underside.

Here's one:

..sorry to say i believe that Beltek had the Sill replaced , while Paul( Bus Barn) had it..
here's a pic from Vincent's time ( pre-2005)

and one from my ownership in 2010

..you can see that it appears to be both holed & distorted in the top pic, but regenerated in the bottom one.. Sad

Does anyone have a pic of the hornbecker 52 deluxe sills?
I believe it's a pristine untouched 52 right?
So should answer the question if 52s have cargo dimples or holes.

Don't really know how genuine this is with the artistic touch ups that often happened. But in the ambulance and the pickup brochures in the archives it seems 52 didn't have dimples on either side like 51s
but possibly B pillar holes?

Dimples on the long panel started with the new body style march 55.

Does anyone have an original factory barn door era service manual? Did they exist? They have very detailed pictures, at least my later one does, that shows the rockers in clear detail.

Maybe could clear this question up as best as it can be. It's almost like archeology at this point.

I have a 53/54 shop manual.
I looked through the body section and did not see any clear rocker photos.
The Body section is much smaller than the later manuals.

I'm trying to figure out rockers on a single cab... Does anyone know when drain dimples started on the treasure chest rocker and B-pillars for a truck? Specifically interested in '53 but any info would help. I know Everett posted a link to pics further up the page and I've searched a bit but can't find anything clear. Thanks.

David.

I have a NOS Barndoor Single Cab Left Hand B pillar here and that has the dimple but no drain hole.
Can send you a pic if need be.

Tony.

No drain dimples on the longside sill

Or on a 53, believed to be original
