It looks like a factory job, on driver's side of the truck. Anyone know what it is for, there isn't one on the passenger side. http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/Brenda_Fiege/library/?view | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Elton Fiege, I don't recall seeing that on any 39 through 47A cab that I have seen. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 | Elton,
I think that is called a dent. I suspect the bed apron may have impinged on the cab corner, possibly when the frame was flexing or happened when removing the bed, etc.My '42 does not have anything like that.

Now that I am doing some thinking about it, the rear running board support on that side of the cab has been replaced by a homemade one, so something got run over and caused a dent, the thing that fools me is that it is so neatly formed. What I know about the truck is it was the shop truck for the General Motors dealer in Arborfield, Saskatchewan (very faint lettering on the doors), and then owned by a farmer in Jordan River, Saskatchewan, I found a copy of his insurance policy dated 1962 that had slid in between the dash and the glove box. | | |
