For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 | Have a 1949 Chevrolet truck radio and am trying to determine what the brass lug that is riveted at the lower right hand corner,just below the speaker holes goes to. This lug has a fiber washer on the front of the radio and one on the inside of the radio just before the brass "L" shaped lug. Anyone got an idea what the function of this was on these radios?
