Lower grill and fender support.

[Coconut-kid]

Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out how the bottom of the grill and the lower edge of the front of the fenders with all the holes get supported on my 51.

Getting a bunch of sound from the front. I can wiggle it by hand. I can just imagine how much it moves while driving on my crappy roads.

Here are a couple of shots of the areas I'm asking about.
Sorry for the crappy pics.

I forgot to mention that all 3 of the vertical brace for the grill are just floating in the air.

Almost 80 views and no one can tell me what theirs looks like.

could you give some more pictures.. i'm trying to figure out just what i'm looking at.. is this the outside of the frame with the bumber bracket and bolts i see and then looking you see the front of the rad.??
I'm looking through the 1000 pictures i have of a '52 suburban to see if i can match something..

Hope this one helps a little more. across the bottom of the grill are three tabs like the one on the left top side of the pic and the holes you see on the front edge of the fenders.

It looks like you are missing the piece of sheet metal that fills in that whole bottom area that bolts across the grill, those three verticle supports, and those three bolt holes in the fender skirts, and ties it all together. Sorry, I don't have any pics of that piece. mike

Thanks for the info. I have nothing to reference so I had no idea. I'll see if I can see the part on one of the usual suspects.

Ok i think this is what you're missing,, the first picture show it all bolted up before i took it all a part, the 2nd shows it laying on the ground the big piece in the middle, and the last one shows it bolted up to the inner fenders before the grill is installed.. did this help you?

Looked all around but can't seem to find the two long support rods.
Anyone know where to get those?
Thanks.

Not sure if anyone remakes them, but you could make a set easy.. just get some steel rod and weld a washer on the end that bolts up top and bottom.. maybe someone on here who has a set that they can get to can tell you how long they need to be and 3/8 or 5/16 rod would work fine..
