70's? Fleet front lift board measurements again

[FWCdk8ur]

Hey guys just did some searching and still cant find the measurements or confirm if the front lift board is identical to the rear. Trying to rebuild it sooner than later...

This is the exact camper:

Interior looks just like this:


Thanks!

I have the same model, more or less. Mine came with paperwork saying it is a 1985 Fleet. I rebuilt both panels last winter. As soon as I get a chance, I'll measure both panels and send the measurements to you.

ICYMI (in case you missed it!).....

Posts 3 and 4 in this thread suggest front and back are identical.

Also- here's a photolicious panel-fabrication thread on an 89 Fleet.

Might send you a PM soon when I get to rebuilding the front panel for consulation if I get stuck. That looks just like mine, I'd love to think my camper is an 80's model and not 70's i just dont know. *What wood did you choose for the rebuilt panels? 1/4 birch seems to be popular*

edit* Don't worry about measuring those panels for me ( unless you want to, I could see how it could still be helpful info)!

I'll try to get those measurements tomorrow. I used 1\4 Birch plywood. Just make sure the plywood thickness is less than the height of the hinge or the hinges will not fold flat. Feel free to contact me if you run into problems. The rebuild thread mentioned above is great. Replace them one at a time and follow the advice from the '89 thread and you should be fine.

You might want to take advantage of Stan's offer in this post to help narrow down the year of manufacture.
