Here's a couple shots. First was taken when I was replacing the front bed rail. Your muffler strap should be a long piece of strap material and a eye bolt connected to one end with bolt and washer. It's hard to explain how the strap is routed and I can always scan a picture for you if necessary. Oh yes, I assume a '49 and '50 truck were configured the same in this area. http://community.webshots.com/photo/97772002/108444467DIfyec

I have the similar bracket that you show but a large ubolt that I assume goes around the muffler and into another bracket on the under side of the muffler | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 | No, the 49 is the same as the 50. A strap as Craig described. One of the vendors sell said strap and eye bolt. Although it is not an actual "eye" bolt, but I do not know what to call it. Sounds like someone has been tinkering with your muffler mount. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 | Boy, What it takes to satisfy you guys..... Please note that the tail end of the strap is pinched between the muffler and the strap itself.... http://community.webshots.com/photo/97772002/108519420dZotIS Regards
