I've got the (original) Service Manual, but I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a "Parts Manual" for the '48 2t.

It also support the bottom of the grill. On your truck it would have had a hole in it that a crank would have gone though, if one was man enough to try and hand start the engine. On the big trucks there hard to find as most rusted out in the center where the grill support attachs. Like the upper baffle, they will only fit a big truck. The smaller ones use a different size and bolt pattern on theres. | | |
