Body blocks advice needed ‘26

Post by Dave Young » Mon Mar 13, 2023 12:03 pm

I’m mounting a ‘26 Roadster body back onto a ‘26 frame and have a new wooden body block set, 10 pieces, that came from Lang’s. Can anyone show or explain where they each go. The ones with the notch across them have me stumped. What I removed a year ago were rotted away and unlike any of these new ones. Thanks, guys.

Dave,

Can you show us a photo, or reference a Lang's catalog number?

There is small wood pieces (B) up inside the very front body in the sub frame. That wood is just there to place wood screw through the front top of the splash shield for anti-rattle. Original wood blocks, they are secured to the sub frame with screws. Type in your computer where do body blocks go on a 26 model t and you will get all your info. 26-27 Body Blocks - Antique Auto Ranch

Dino, that is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you. Those rear bocks getting wedged into the rail by the flat block was not coming to me at all. I hit it with a flap sander and achieved a nice snug fit. Perfect! Thanks again.
