Hi

1. Should my 54 3100 have a cowl / cover attached to the sides of the radiator with just the fan blades showing ?, mine looks like it had one fitted at sometime, if it's not fitted will cool air pass around either side of engine rather than direct cooling onto the engine block front ( will it be ok without one ? ).
2. Are the black choke buttons available ?, mine is missing, only got the shaft sticking out of the dash.
3. Why do these trucks seem to have a lot of holes in the firewall / bulkhead behind the engine with nothing coming out of them ?.
4. My 54 has a very nice rear bumper which curves out with a lower middle section for the license plate to be seen, but it sticks out a good 18'' behind the tailgate, so much so I have had to remove it to fit my truck in the garage, did 54's have these fitted ?.
5. Why is there only a grille / vent on the offside / passenger side near the mirror ?.
