Looked just like the front splash guard. Interesting, but not really the look for me. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 255 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 255 | I have seen a couple in person as well as some of my truck magazines. They look good to me, especially since I would like to add a reciever hitch at some point and they would hide the reciever from the top. I dont think that they were ever factory produced or installed.

A friend has a '53 with an alum. diamondplate front splashgard that looks good. The front is cut to match the bumper curve and the back of it goes under the grill (no fancy cutting there). I was thinking one could be made for the back splashguard also, just a different idea.....

I recall reading that Patrick's has the part made and other vendors sell his part (he shows it in his printed "catalog" but does not seem to list it on his web site.
A rear splash apron was standard on the AD Panel Truck, Canopy Express, and Carryall Surburbans. Fiberglass reproductions are available but there is not a metal reproduction.
The one I got from Chevy Duty was well made and came primed (shipping for the oversize part was understandably expensive).

Here is one poor photo (I was shaking in the near zero degrees garage).
I sent you three photos in email.

I think the roll pan looks better.But each to his own.Photo at www.classictruckshop.com photo galleries,page3,Pennie
