Is there a support of some sort that goes behind the grill on a 47-53. I haven't seen anything in the catalogs but I had an ole timer tell me there was. I seem to have more "give" towards the bottom than it seems like I should.
Thanks,

What you should have is one of these, http://www.flickr.com/photos/26014986@N07/2445813793/ The entire front end depends on it. Other than that I'm not sure if this is the part you mean. There is a lower panel that goes between the grill and radiator support.It has a hole for the starter handle. Is this what you require?

You should have 2 rods supporting the lower splash apron and grill. They attach to the center of the grill at the bottom and to the top of the radiator support. Cleon

Cleon...You've got me worried now! big_eek My 50 doesn't have these,but it does have the core to firewall ones.
Were these rods in your pics not just fitted to the bigger'bolts?
I'm curious now,as I haven't noticed these before on the smaller A.Ds i.e 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. headscratch

I meant inner fenders not 'core'
