    Jeep bolt spacing is 2 1/2 inches.  Hudson is 2 inches.

    Well, looking again, it seems the pic I posted is not from a Hudson.  Don't know where it came from but was in my stuff.  Looks like the holes that are left in the truck are in fact 2 1/2 in apart.  Only one has threads so have to weld nuts to sheet metal and weld them in.

    They came from the factory with only one threaded hole (the top one). The lower hole can be reached by going up the stake pocket from the bottom.
