Quick part ID - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally getting the long step back together but have 2 identical parts I can't identify. (Yeah, didn't have a picture OR a labeled baggie

-DOH!) Slowly went through the assembly manual page by page and came up with one solution: Braces behind the grill assembly, between the headlight buckets? Does that look right?

For a 4 headlight '60-'61 truck? I don't have one like that on my '65.

I know, I know - Pick me.

I can send you a picture this evening of an original bolted in place.

That might help more than just the OP.

They go between the grill support and core support on either side I believe.

Cool, learn something new everyday.

I will have to look at mine a bit closer. I have never noticed them before.

Mine came with the truck in a box like everything else. I knew they went down there somehow. Thanks Dpowers.

It a brace for the front clip to stabilize the bottom.
