The truck has original heavy steel reinforcing plates running along the outsides of the frame. The right-hand plate interferes with the normal locking of the brass brakeline tee right across from the master cylinder, so there is a round hole in the plate to access the tee where it comes through the frame, and two tapped holes in the plate to secure some kind of bracket that engaged the slots in the tee as per normal. Those holes are 2 1/4" apart and look centered on the tee. Does anybody know what that bracket looked like, or a source for one. Maybe there is a good make-do solution?

Sounds like it's time to fab something.
I'll take a look at my '46 2 ton and see if I can get a picture of what you're talking about.. alot of things are the same between the 41's and the '46.
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

I have the reinforcing plates on the outside of the frame, but I don't have any T's mounted to the frame.. at least not near the MC or across from it on the other frame rail.
Does your truck have one of those vac boosters? If not, maybe thats where the T your talking about is.. and since I have a vac booster, I wouldn't have the T.

46, I dont have a vacuum booster. Thanks for looking. I'll bet you're right. I'd better make up a part.
