I think it goes somewhere underneath the truck, but I don't know where. Can you identify the part and let me know where it bolts on and what does it do? Thanks for the help. Photobucket God bless, Dave

Just a guess...

Is it a Chevy part or an added part, and more in particular, where does it go. Thanks.

It was made by the outfitting company that installed the equipment. I found those braces under a 1 ton panel I did some chassis work on. It originally had something like a generator in it from the Gulf Oil company. Look in the gallery under 47.2 Chevy's. It's Brad Birdnow's panel,
