1950 front mount
From the factory was there a bushing/gasket type material between the frame and core support?
Mine has been "done" before so a lot is 'not like it should be'. Scott |

Re: 1950 front mount
There are thin rubber pads between the radiator support and the frame.
Like these in the Filling station catalog. I think I cut squares out of the side wall of a tire and used my hole punch to punch a hole in them the last time I did mine. You might have to shim the support a tad to get the hood to fit perfectly but you can usually use spacers on the front cab mounts for that.

Re: 1950 front mount
conveyor belting works well for stuff like that too. most places that service conveyors have used belting for sale.

Re: 1950 front mount
We have all types of gasket material at work and some old conveyors too, for that matter.
I will be setting the cab tomorrow. 1st trial fit anyway. Will go from there. Scott |

Re: 1950 front mount
Try something about the thickness of a two ply car tire sidewall first and go from there.

Re: 1950 front mount
10-4.
Today is going to be a good day as I am starting out completely positive. I am not going to run into anything 'the last guy' did that takes me back two steps after making one step forward. It is going to be a good day. LOL Scott |

Re: 1950 front mount
Fixing what the last guy did can be a real pain. and that reminds me that I haven't rewired the lights on the back of my 77 flatbed yet and got rid of the rats nest of extension cord (yellow construction style) yet.

Re: 1950 front mount
That must have been a popular option at one time.
Way back when my Pops had a mustard yellow '72 and it had an extension cord going from the fire wall to the tail lights as well. Down to the use of wire nuts as well. Scott |
