36 Ford Pickup- what is this?

[shuffster]

Took it down to bare frame, now I don't know what these small brackets were for. About 2 x 5" in size. Hope the attachment works....

Don't look familiar. Where were they located on the truck?

I think they are a brace for the pan under the grill/radiator area. the pan was missing on my 36 and only one brace was there.

I have a 39 and haven't looked precisely, but I also think they are in the radiator area.

I don't think that they are OEM. They look like aftermarket tail pipe hangers.

 

[shuffster]

They are not tailpipe hangers. I am quite certain they ae OEM, there is a right and left. Not "homemade".

I somewhat remember they were in the front,and perhaps were used to support the lower pan (missing). Or perhaps to steady the inner fenders.

I lost my bet. I figured a correct answer by the late news!

I have learned alot from this forum, and find it a wealth of information.

I went out and looked under my '36 and there they are. That is the left front shock. There is another on the other side.

I believe them to be the brackets that hold the rear of the pan that goes beneath the grill on a 36 and a 37 pickup. The front of the pan bolts to the bottom of the grill.

Thanks Bill. That bit of information is being saved for "the book".

Not trying to hijack this thread.
just a Question for:
Lawson / 36Bill
Lawson As you are gathering Info for your book I am trying to gather Info about the Shocks,
1928 through 1948.
And in no way is this pointing fingers @ 36 Bill , Because we know that different year shocks fit different year vehicles.{ Some PREFORM better then original }
ok that being said Is that the correct shock for the 36 pickup,I thought the cover was of a sweged sealed style or are they different for Pickup applications?

36Bill may I use that Picture for my research?

Bill W,

The front shocks that were on my '36 were frozen with broken links. The shocks on the front I got with a box of parts and they fit so I put them on. I never had any working shocks until then and what a difference they made. I will send you pics if you want for your project.

36Bill:

Yes if you would,Picture of truck also please & of rear shocks.
I will be putting a foot note as that they are not concorse correct & other years may fit.

To save Band width please email them to WPWZ@COMCAST.NET

Thanks BILL W
