Anyone familiar with installation of the original radio in a 54 1/2 ton? Is there a bracket to hold it? Seems to be a bolt on the drivers side, but my truck doesn't seem to have anywhere to attach the bolt. Any help appreciated.

The radio in my 54 car is like you describe - bolt on right side which DOES connect to a bracket.

The bracket on the car is mounted to the firewall, with the bracket arm coming out directly toward the dash. Perhaps your's was removed - look for the bolt holes on the firewall.

These old tube radios are HEAVY and really need support.

If you can find someone with a copy of the '54 accessories installation manual, there is quite a bit of detailed instructions on how to install it. I would send you a scan, but lack the hardware. I just sent a big check to John Kerry. grin
