Thanks guys for all the help on this and believe I've this all sorted out. Still would like to se a detailed blow up out of a Chevy parts book which may show all the associated parts. I'm thinking a 1941 parts manual may have such a drawing.

Have three of you now that confirm this type of carrier system I've shown is what's on their 41-46 pickups.
