On my 58 there is a pad between the support and the frame. But i didn't see this truck get taken apart, and I didn't see any listing in a catalog I was looking at.

Funny thing is the Factory Assembly Manual shows only shims and spacers no pads. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 | Thanks, looks like I may have a new parts source. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 | I have a 1950 3600 and it looks like I have the pad for a 49 truck??
