I have new kick panels for my CCPU and am debating whether or not to put the dispatch box on the right side panel. It would be a nice addition but there is little enough room for your feet as it is. Also it would likely get kicked (hince "kick panel") plus would the weight eventually cause sagging or wrapping. Any thoughts? Especially if you have the box installed.

I installed one on the roadster pickup, and it was a good place to keep registration and insurance papers. The closed cab pickup originally had the box installed above the seat back, on the rear panel, passenger side. -
I installed mine this winter on the right side panel. It doesn't seem to weigh much, so I don't think it will cause the panel to sag. I keep some papers in it like registration and insurance. I don't think it will cause any additional problems with foot room, but haven't really had the A out since installation.Comment

The 82-A (1928-E30) had one on both sides above the side of the seat back, the 76-B and 82-B had them on the right kick panel.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Since my 29 Tudor is a driver a dispatch box on the passenger kick panel would be handy. As mention, a good place to keep important papers.If the next owner didn't want it, there wouldn't be a problem to remove it.Comment

One more question. Did you install with the rivets? I'm thinking about using screws.Comment

Thanks,Comment

I bought a good original kick panel with box, just in case my friend couldn't find his while we were restoring his 31 wide bed.
Now the problem is, he found his, but I can't find mine.Comment

Although my delivery has the compartment behind the passenger seat I am considering adding a dispatch box to one of the kick panels. I think they are good idea for nearly any body style.

When I installed mine in my 31 Pickup I had a old kick panel that had one on it....That is the one I used. The backside had if I remember right three thin metal strips that the rivets were peened to, this keeping the rivets from pulling back out thru the kick panel!Originally posted by Mickey View PostComment

Can anyone tell me what kind/size screw is used to attach the TOP of the curved inner panel to the inside TOP of the outer panel? As you can see in the picture there are 6 very small holes maybe 1/16 in size to mark the location. I assume a sheet metal screw?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I'm replacing my rotted out angled floor panel in my 31 Roadster. Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to removing the two side rivets to remove the panel? Do I need to remove the angle panel with the rear front seat riser as an assembly and then cut the rivets once I have it out? Are there any spot welds? I did find a couple on the edges where the angle panel and the seat riser meet. Thank you...11-17-2018, 02:49 PM -

The panel looks like it needs three fasteners per side but I do not know what size or type. Is it a clinch nut? The reasons I mention this is the holes are kinda big. The curved panel itself is a repro and no holes are drilled at least on the one I bought.Thank You03-03-2019, 08:37 PM -
Re: 1950 Ford Custom instrument panel lighting. Wondering if anyone else had issues with the instrument panel lighting being very dim and what they did to improve it. I bought led bulbs and the clock is real bright now but the panel is still very dim even though the bulbs put out a good bright light....09-01-2020, 11:33 AM -
My '31 roadster body is pretty good and rust free but someone did an amateur job years ago replacing the rear panel under rumble seat lid. They must not have had any pieces back in the fifties or sixties so it is a plain piece with no bead at all on bottom edge,it also fits poorly on top. The top will not allow me to position the cross piece that the curved inner floor panel attaches to as it is about...02-19-2019, 06:30 PM

I just finished installing my LogoLites turn signals. It was an easy task, and they work! My 29 Tudor came less interior. All the interior photos I have seen don't show the drivers side kick panel area from a low angle. If anyone has such a photo or could take and post one I would be grateful. I want to make sure all the wires will be hidden before I secure them. I ran all the wires through the clothe...02-24-2018, 11:46 AM -
What are the characteristics that help identify an original lamp for the oval speedometer instrument panel? There's very little information in the RG&JS that I can find, other than being bright nickel.07-17-2020, 12:44 PM
