Exploded View Diagrams
Any good sources (factory manuals etc) that show what the 10 ka-jillion holes in my '49 Frame ahead of the Cab were used for ? Exploded Views ?
Some are obvious, and I suspect others accomodate 6 cyl vs. 8 cyl configuration or certain options. Looks like there was a right-hand drive option. Some I just don't get at all.
Just curious

Are ya considering filling them? I just noticed mine too after removing a bunch of rivets, and thought of filling them in, but don't know if I should. As for all the other holes, i'll have to look through my manual. Might take me a while.

Yeah, I'm going to be filling holes this weekend. I don't think it's a big deal since I know which ones I need. I was just curious to know why they were there to begin with. Tooling location may indeed be a reason. Hadn't thought of that.

I'll ditto Dick's observation. They've got to jig holes. As I've worked on my MH frame I've compared it to a standard frame. Same holes in exactly the same locations for no apparent reasons. Got to be for assembly line jigs, stamping jigs, or similar.

The frames were set up for left and right hand drive for the South Africa and Aussie markets, and some others.
