Brad, thanks so much! That picture was just what I needed! I looked closely at the bracket and saw a small area of metal welded to teh side. When I looked at the cab I found a matching area of metal missing from the edge of the vent hole. They matched perfectly, so I guess I know where it needs to go now. I can see that that area is difficult, if not impossible, to get into with a welder. I'm thinking that I will drill a few small holes in the cab and weld through them to attach the bracket. We'll see how it goes!

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
