Folks,
I'm not sure what the pans are for on the inside of the front frame right behind the wheels?

Anyone have any ideas??

Thank you.

looks like something added, maybe to keep the front tires from slinging mud into the engine bay on a muddy drive?

I wonder if I should cut them out or leave them in place. I don't have a muddy drive.

That was just a theory, let's see if anybody comes up with a better idea.

I've got them on my '49. Most trucks have had them cut off over the years.

They are factory splash pans to keep the bottom of the engine from loading up with mud. I removed mine and painted them red (3-rivets per side). They are also unique R/L with diferrent bends.
