The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Raditor Core Support and front Sheet metal

Working on a 49 GMC FC101 that I bought in parts. As I did not have the opportunity to take it apart I am struggling a bit figuring out how it all goes back together. I have the cab on the frame and would like to dry fit assemble the rest of the front sheet metal including the radiator and front bumper. I am trying to determine if I am missing any parts so I can buy them before I start the painting and final assembly.

Does anyone know where I might find a good set of photos, drawings, mock ups, etc showing clearly how this all goes back together? The fenders and hood are pretty straight forward but the core support and related brackets are giving me some issues. I have a Chevy 47-54 assembly manual and a number of parts catalogs but I still haven't been able to clearly see what's going on. I suspect there are a few differences between the Chevy and GMC

Thanks for any guidance, I know I need a lot.

I have one with the fenders off, let me go look at what I can send you. Sorry, mine is a '47.1, probably slightly different.

If you don't have a Light Duty GMC Master Parts Book you can email me directly and I'll send you the blow out drawing of all the parts that go together to make the front end.

Robert,
I would like a copy of the front end parts drawing as well, if you don't mind,
Thanks,
Ron
