'47-'54 radiator frame pics
Can someone help me out with a few reference pictures? My '50 3/4 ton chevy is missing the two rod braces that attach to the front top of the radiator frame and go down to the lower radiator shroud. I believe they go down and forward and atttach near the lower grill????? ANy help with a few pictures and dimensions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Solid.....
Do they converge off to one side on the lower shroud? I have two holes there that are set off to one side? |

Re: '47-'54 radiator frame pics
That is what i was looking for. Would it be to much to ask for the 2 lengths?
I guess i'll try and make a couple from some barstock. Thanks Last edited by coralhead; 10-27-2011 at 08:34 PM. |

Re: '47-'54 radiator frame pics
it was pretty easy really, the front sheet metal was already off the truck I borrowed them from. I just took out 2 bolts.
