Deck hold down details
Here are some pics of the under deck supports.
The deck sits on 4 1/2" x 2" bearers full width. Three of these are bolted with coach bolts down thru the bearer and through an angle bracket welded flush with the top of the chassis rails. The bearer behind the wheel arch is bolted thru the top flange of the chassis rail.
These are all bolted to the deck panels by a pair of coach bolts at each end.
The bearer under the middle of the front locker, and the short one over the chassis arch are held by countersunk screws down thru the flange on the edge of the body sides.
Note also the simple mudguard and H frame mudguard supports, also the stirrups under the back of the deck.
