It looks like a place to mount a pad of some type to allow you to step on the step without scratching the paint. However I can find no such pad listed in any catalog. Any ideas on finding something to mount there or what they are for? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | Maybe someone had mounted a Jerry can there in the past. I had to weld up a few holes in mine because of that on my 55.2. Not sure if the steps are the same. Mine only has two squared holes for the frame support (that "L" shaped brace).
Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 97 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 97 | Don't know but there is a pad with a Chevrolet bow tie in the center that one can put on the step ...had them on mine once. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Red69.... get you some of the fancy plating like some truck tool boxes are made of and cut you a "pad" to match the holes. A short time ago a bolter posted a link where he had used this plating and cut it in an "oval" shape and it looked rather nice that way. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 | You can get aluminium diamond plate at Tractor supply and Home depot.
