Found this in my 59, what is it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I feel like I should know what this is for. I found it in a box in my 59 GMC. Doesn't look like a gas cap or a hub cap or an oil cap..?

Definitely a rat's nest.

Mr Pops · 04-29-2013, 08:47 AM

Oh here we go..

Daze57 · 04-29-2013, 11:13 AM

i believe it has to do with a johnson rod that opens the fetzer valve
