Hi there Paul,
All bumper brackets are straight. I thought that also and checked.
In an Australian truck, (parts imported from Canada and assembled in the HOLDEN plant here), this isa standard truck as original as it left the assembly line. I have seen a few. From what I can gather being the last of the series maybe leftover parts were shipped. Typical of these trucks is that there is quite a few things that are from late forties and early fifties thrown in. Windscreen, door seals, dash all vary as to the American style of a 54.
Yes Paul the front seems to pivot on/around the radiator and the gurds are bolted up the radiator support evenly on both sides. I will check and see if the radiator is askew but I think it is o.k.
If you can think of something else to check, please let me know.
Thanks again,
John.
