1984 Ford Bronco Rear Crossmember/Tailgate Sill Fabrication Sketch & Dimensions

This is a handwritten notebook page (site-classified as a blueprint) containing fabrication sketches and notes for a replacement rear crossmember/sill for the tailgate area of a truck or Bronco bed. The required dimensions are listed at the top: 75 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and 7 inches wide with flange. Four hand sketches show the part: a side profile of the long channel with dashed section lines (with 3" and 8" dimension callouts), a small cross-section detail measuring 3" by 6", a plan view of the 75"-long sill with a 20" dimension to the first feature and mounting holes, and a view of the sill positioned under the (cross-hatched) body/bed. Bulleted fabrication notes state that a 5"-wide base/top will be fine, that mounting strength comes from spot-welding to the tailgate post and spot/welding to the rear bed, that the body should be jacked so the cross sill can slide under the body in one piece, that the tailgate post area should be cleaned up for good welds, and that the sill must match the outer edge of the tailgate. Useful for anyone fabricating a rear bed crossmember/tailgate sill repair.
