I have some deluxe pans I will be modifying for my '51 std. I have NOS seat studs and will remove the rails on the pans now. I need the dimensions of where they should be. How far back from the front chassis bulkhead (one measurement) and how far away from the tunnel, perpendicularly for each (2 measurements). I can photo shop a chassis pic later if it is not clear.

Anyone have an original split std and can get those measurements? I have a bunch of time off over the holidays and hope to work on those pans....

TIA

Hey John, I measured 30 3/4" from the bulkhead, and 2 1/8" and 15 5/8" from the tunnel to the center of the studs. This was from an original chassis that has not been repaired.

Excellent, thank you 9secschwim. Can you tell me what year that chassis was? Can anyone else confirm these measurements?

John,
I have an unmessed with 1947 that has the threaded bolts still in place. But that is about all I have.
Will measure them in the AM.
Eric

This particular chassis is a 51 and those measurements are from the drivers side. I can measure the passenger side tomorrow if needed.

I can't imagine the pass side would be different. I don't think there is a need to measure those.

John
I came up with almost those exact same measurements in a nice OG 1950 Hoffman standard that was in the shop earlier this year
30 3/4" from bulk head
2"? from the tunnel
2 1/4" from the heater channel
13 3/8" between the two bolts
these were just quick measurements i wrote down while working on the customers to-do list Smile
