    CCPU tailgate rivet question

    I have a question about the bottom rivet on pickup tailgates. I have a tailgate that does NOT have a bottom pair of rivets and one that does have a bottom rivets. I am attaching pictures of each tailgate. My question is what date and years are each used? My gut feel is the rivet was added later due to a problem, so the tailgate with the rivets at the bottom of the two straps was probably the later tailgate. I would like to know when the change over was made. If anyone would post what their tailgate has as far as rivets and the date of mfg of the pickup it would be appreciated.

    Rivet question
    by wrndln
    I am in the process of installing the rivets in the sub frame/floorpan/seat frame of my 29 CCPU. I am using 7/16" long 3/16" diameter brazier head rivets. I am setting the rivets cold with a waffle tool in a CP 3X rivet gun. These rivets are long enough for all but 2 of the places rivets are required. I can't find any longer brazier head rivets after looking high and low – Big Flats Rivet...

    Riveting steel rivets
    by Steve Plucker
    What is the rule of thumb when it comes to riveting steel rivets?

    If I were riveting a 1/4 inch diameter steel rivet to connect two pieces of metal together...would/should the shank of the rivet that is protruding out of the hole be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the 1/4 inch rivet? In other words the length of the shank of the rivet protruding out of the hole should be 3/8 inch in length?...

    1930 CCPU tailgate chain bracket
    by emac
    The tailgate chain bracket is installed with rivets. I am replacing mine with the correct brackets and rivets. The rivet tool I have will not fit around the bed to squeeze the rivets.

    Any alternative way to install the rivets? The rivets are pretty strong....

    Why did Ford use the Waffle type stamping of rivets in places where a domed rivet would of worked just the same?

    Pickup bed rivets
    by Steve Plucker
    Has any body restored a Model A pickup bed?

    The rivets used are unlike those used on the frame and other like items in relation the the head of the rivet.

    Ones used on the frame and such have a somewhat more rounded head than those on the pickup bed.

    That being the case...where can I get rivets that are correct to rivet items to the bed to make it more original...

    Shifting fork rivet instalation...
    by Steve Plucker
    I have assembled my transmission gearshift tower and am ready to install the rivets that go into the shifting forks.

    My hands and fingers are to darn big to put those rivets in from the top to the bottom.

    Is there a more simple way of doing it? I had forgot this procedure was a little hard to do!

    Thanks.

    Installing mat rivets (or whatever they are called)
    by wrndln
    In the past I have had a tough time installing the currently available "mat" rivets shown in the picture below. First the part that goes into the heavy 16 gauge cross sill and subrail extensions barely extend beyond the underside of metal they go in - i.e. not enough to properly roll the end of the rivet over. Second, even if I try to use a semi-tubular setting tool, the top part where...

    Visor bracket rivets
    by Art Ebeling
    Today I tried to attach the sunvisor to the brackets for my Victoria using the tubular rivets supplied by Lebaron Bonney. The rivets are too short to go thru both the visor and the bracket. Not enough rivet to roll over. The rivet measures 5/16 in length which is the same thickness as the visor without the bracket. All I accompished was to scratch the plating on the bracket and squish the visor....
