The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk unidentified 3100 parts 1956

anybody know what these parts are and where they go? they were in one of the boxes of parts with my 1956 Chevrolet 3100 short bed. and no idea where they belong. Truck originally was a 6 and now a V8, so may even be part of the 6 setup.

I believe the larger piece is the bracket the jack mounts to. It should also have a long spring that attaches to the two tabs in the middle and used as a strap to hold the jack in place. It bolts to the cab floor on the back driver's side corner.

No idea what the smaller piece is.

Gumbi is right on the jack holder. I believe the other piece is a front licence plat holder.

Thanks, has been bugging me, I don't have a jack yet though. I Don't think the little piece is license plate holder as that on the truck already . The smaller piece has a little pin that doesn't really show well in the pictures between the 2 tabs that look like they might slip into something

i had my 56 torn down to the smallest bits during restoration. i don't recognize the smaller piece as belonging to a 56 3100 6-cyl

I also had my truck torn down to every last bolt and I don't recognize it either...
