On a '49 Ford F-5 COE, can anyone tell or show me, what the right side ( p***enger side) step and battery box cover or door looks like ?
I have 2 48-50 Ford COE's, and the battery box on the right running board was rusted away and missing on both of them. I simply custom made a new step for the left side, then made a mirror imaged duplicate step for the right side, and relocated the battery back near the engine. Of course if originality is your goal, the way I built mine would not be acceptable. If I wanted to make mine original, come to think of it, I don't thnk I personally have ever seen an original battery cover. I guess most of them rusted away long ago due to the battery acid.
