Re: Please help with 40's truck

DWcsr pretty well nailed it. that support (that I didn't see when I looked at it) is the telling factor on a 47/48 vs 49/50/

The 47 should have a smooth cowl top under the hood while a 48 will have a rain channel about an inch back from the front.


That groove helps keep rain from running down the firewall as it did on the first 47 AD trucks.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
