Seeking another elusive part for the stock truck build .Any one have or can locate part # 18481 located on page 605 of the FORD Chassis Parts Catalog ? It is a looped end bracket that holds the heater hose to the RF inner fender panel. Thanks,. Denny
It's a real simple strap. I'll check my spare inner fenders, but these usually get torn up trying to get the fender bolts out. The strap's hole is square as I recall?
The original number is 7RA 18481. Obsoleted by the time of the 1964 edition. Two are listed as being fitted, but I don't see why two were needed on a V8. No question two would be needed on a 215 like mine. Parts Voice doesn't show any squirreled away by vendors. I have two, and as you can see in the pictures it wouldn't be any task to fabricate them. I can measure, etc, if it'd help. Stu
Josh , truckdog has one on the way . Thanks for your effort . Would not want to accept it from you when some one else may need it .It is under stood this attaches to a head bolt . If so which one ? The angle seems to be off to bolt to the inner fender . Thanks , Denny
I didnt compare to one on a truck. Guess i better go look at a parts truck or two so o can see the difference from this bracket compared to the inner fender one.
Im not sure which headbolt this would have gone under.
Ill have to take a look at some other trucks.
Mike a.k.a. Rimrock sent one .It arrived today at 6 pm. & was media blasted & primed by 6:30 .Paint wed. & install thur. Will post a pic. Truckdog sent a traced pattern of one .Thanks for every ones help .DEnny
Josh , did you get a chance to eye ball a truck to see where the heater hose support bracket attaches ? By the angle on the one end am leaning towards a head bolt or maybe the rear water neck bolt .. It is ready to bolt on Thanks , Denny
