47-55.1 48 windshield center bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 48 cab does not have the inner center windshield brace for the 2-piece windshield on the cab. I've looked in my 1947-1954 Truck Factory Assembly Manual, and I've not found how it is installed. I think it is welded in.

If you have link or a picture I would like to see a picture of how it is installed I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

If someone doesn't beat me to it I will post a photo. Yep, it was just welded in on the back side. I kinda remember it being wedged between the inner and outer panel but I will get a photo.

Thank you.

It looks like it has to be placed so that the holes line up so the trim pieces fit in correctly. I may have to get all 3 pieces to line it up properly so I can weld it in. Since I replaced the dash, there wasn't a piece there, but at the top of the windshield there appears to be a piece between the inner and outer cab at the "V", just like you said.

Welded on the inside on the top and the outside on the bottom.

The center of the top hole is right at 3/4 inch dow from that little lip.

The hole for the mirror goes towards the top.

Wife is dragging me out the door to seafood night at the casino.
