'47-'54 radiator frame pics

Can someone help me out with a few reference pictures? My '50 3/4 ton chevy is missing the two rod braces that attach to the front top of the radiator frame and go down to the lower radiator shroud. I believe they go down and forward and atttach near the lower grill????? ANy help with a few pictures and dimensions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: '47-'54 radiator frame pics

Solid.....

Do they converge off to one side on the lower shroud? I have two holes there that are set off to one side?

Re: '47-'54 radiator frame pics

That is what i was looking for. Would it be to much to ask for the 2 lengths?

I guess i'll try and make a couple from some barstock.

Thanks

sure the drivers left is 25" from the center of the top bolt to the flat where at the bottom and the right is25 1/2"

If you are going to make them I can make you a drawing tomorrow. that will help with the angles and bolt placement.
