They are different because of the wheelbase, and thus crossmember spacings. Hardware is all the same except for the strip length and punching distances i think.

Re: Carryall WC53
yah got our floor out and painted, and everything but the body hold down bolts are blind nuted, so countersunk straight sloted. I think its a fatter head, different bevel, than what you can get modern wise.
does anyone have the dimensions of the angle iron, 1-inch ?
thanks

Re: Carryall WC53
Old thread, but for the archives I will weigh in. My WC 53 had the original floor. The boards were made from strips glued together. The sides of the boards had a shallow tongue and groove. The tongue being about 1/8 tall & deep. There was a machined recess in the wood of about 1/16 or so, for the metal strips. This recess was shallow enough that the metal strips did protrude above the wood. I saved some small pieces for reference re: thickness and how the keyhole seat plates were installed.

Re: Carryall WC53
Ok, I went thru my parts pile today and took some measurements and pics of things I could not find in a search.
The wood floor boards were 3/4 inch thick, the tongue and groove was only 1/8.
The key slots (what I call them) for the removable seats and table were held in with 1/4x 20 screws. The screws were flat/slot head, countersunk type.
The angle strip along the front of the floor was 54-1/2 long across the front, with 3-7/8 ends. The strip had countersunk holes for the screws. The vertical face of the strip was 3/4 and the horizontal part with the countersunk holes was 1-1/4 wide. I didn’t measure, but the strip is thin, probably 18 gauge...
The gas tank dimensions (not including the flange where the halves were joined) are 35-1/2 long, 22-1/4 wide, & 9 inches deep.
I have posted pics on image event. Here is the link: https://imageevent.com/adamell/wc53carr ... 4&w=0&p=11
