I think it was designed by/for Patrick's in AZ and sold by a lot of parts dealers. It works for 47-53 A-D trucks (not 54/55) - I did not know this and bought one for my '54 pickup (it is gathering dust). | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | On a car it's called a gravel guard. It was intended to keep gravel from bouncing off of the bumper and chipping the paint on the body.

"Stone Shield" or "Gravel Shield" are/were the names that are/were used for the "Rear Valance" - the similar piece that goes between the rear bumper and rear of the panel body trucks (standard equipment).
Most likely there was no standard piece like that for the rear of cab trucks because there was no standard rear bumper during Advance-Design years (just optional equipment or accessory or after-market rear bumpers), except on panel body trucks (Panel, Canopy Express, and Suburban). | | |
