51PanelMan posted pictures of fender gravel shields a couple of days ago in post 48-50 Metal Shroud.....

My question pertains to the gravel shields on a 48-50F1. Where they a stock item?? Where exactly are they placed/installed?? Does anyone have pictures of they installed??

Thanks in advace

My 51 F1 didn't have one but the 51 F3 parts truck that I brought home today has one on it, well it did I also removed it today.

here is a couple pictures of it.



the one that came off the early 50 f1 didn't have the hole in it for the road draft tube, the road draft tube on the Merc that was in it angles back instead of coming stright down like this 51.
the 50 f1 also had a straight 6 in it originally so ??

Josh, although the picture that you provided is a great reference and would be helpful in the gravel shield thread, what JimD was asking about were the fender gravel shields. They attach to the inside of the fender behind the wheel.

I believe that my 52 Panel has them mounted, but I can't take any pictures of them because it's packed away in the garage.

 

Right, I missed that! LOL this 51 F3 does has the fender gravel shields I will take a picture of them in the morning, (if it's not snowing?) weather shows 2-4 inches tomorrow! I'm not ready for winter yet
I think I have some other fender gravel shields tucked away somewhere (I think from a 51 F7)? but not sure? also I wonder if they are the same for F1?
anyway's I'll post the pictures soon as I can.

Cheers

Josh, thanks for the effort. I understand fighting the elements. Post the pics of the gravel shields when you get a chance. Thanks again.

Ok, here are a couple pictures of the cab/fender gravel shields, sorry the pictures are really bad. my camera finally crapped out on me I can't get it to focus on anything anymore.....
