I know it is a basic part but don't know what to call it or reference as a part number. It bolts on the tab on the side of the frame in the photo. Anyone know?

I have received two sizes of front axle bumpers. If there is a 1956-59 front axle bumper, it might be longer than the earlier one. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 235 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 235 | That's it, Tim. Many thanks as always.
I was using frame pad / bumper as a keyword and did not think to use axle. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | That's the 54 version. I have been looking high and low for the 50 version which is different. Most vendors don't have it, but I found the correct one at Classic Industries. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Jim Carter Looks like Classic Parts of America has them mislabeled - 47-53 are the same? American Class Truck Parts also has them listed like Jim Carter (not surprising - their catalog listings match JCs). | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | Yeah, Carters isn't right. Classic Parts has them looking just like the 54. They are supposed to look like this: http://www.classicindustries.com/truck/parts/j1164.htmlI have several 47-53 frames that have the original ones. | | |
