I've got a 46 front bumper that has a vertical thingamabob that I can't identify. Here's a link to a picture of it: http://46RestoRod.blogspot.com . If anyone can tell me what function it preforms, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

looks like someones [PO] homemade attempt to look like an original early bumper guard, about the same shape and size but the single guard is solid, like seen on the earlier cars, and on this 38 truck in the gallery

That thingy, is a factory Chevy truck grille guard. Should have a painted strap at the bottom that bolts to the crossmember. I have a copy of the '42 Chevy accessories booklet, shows this guard and a larger heavy duty unit plus other cool stuff.
