Bed Boards (Gap)
I've seen several diagrams showing typical bed boards length, and width.
However I haven't seen any information on what the typical gap is between the boards. Does anyone know?
I'm trying to make an accurate drawing of what the 9 board layout would have been on Canadian trucks, however 70 year old boards only give up so much information.
Regards,
Kirk

Canadian beds are complicated. I believe there was three board sizes, a wide center board, three narrower boards on each side, and then a third size for the edge boards.
I initially did a design with a 7/16" gap, and then a second one with a 5/16" gap. The difference in gaps changes the widths of the boards.
