Re: radiator frame Gasket?
The U bolt was used on 47/48 trucks that had the center mount rear cab mount. I'm thinking that the idea was to be able to flex more without breaking anything when going over rough ground. That is something that we don't get real excited over now but back in 1947 they drove these trucks off across the field or pasture or up in the woods without a second thought.
