At first glance, it looks as if the truck is too wide for some reason, but if one looks closely it can be seen that our top bar is resting against a lip on the tie bar formed by many years of constant jiggling against the previous (original?) side frame components. This means that the tiebar is a smidge short, but it worked. The ends of both tiebars on this truck will be welded up and ground down to correct such fits.
