The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts What should this be connected to (now with photo)

Hello,

I have a 1941 Holden build Chev truck in a partially disassembled state. It is an old farm truck. On top of the chassis rails close to the steering box, and a similar point on the the other chassis rail there is also a bolt that secures a very long eye bolt type thing. The eyes are held by the bolts but a shafts runs forward almost to the radiator where there are threaded connectors.

Obviously something must have screwed into these connectors. The shafts are sitting almost flat against the chassis rails but if they were left undone and the truck was driven the would eventually straighten and settle flat.

My guess is that the connected somewhere to the radiator support but I am not sure where. The sit just inside the wheel arch splash panels.

Thanks

Steve
