I pulled out some panels to play around with the front air dams, and this was in my pile of parts. Not sure exactly what it is or where it goes. Does this familiar to anyone? My truck is a 1950 1/2 ton.
Thanks guys! I had no recollection of having removed that myself, so it was probably one of the many loose parts that came with the truck. It turns out to be a moot point anyhow, as both my LS engine and my Mustang ll suspension sit exactly where that pan should go!
since a guy has one and has it loose.... could you be troubled to trace it out on paper and go to the local library to have it scanned into a large format pdf (then the rest of us guys who have none could go to the library and have it printed out pdf for home fab/repro)... or sell copies of the tracing yourself...
The 48 to 51 pan is being repop’ed by Dennis Carpenter. Below. Won’t fit 52s because the frame motor mounts were modified to work with the new 215 engine. Stu
Wow, this splash pan question was a big hit! Brain75, I checked with my better half who determined that our local library (small & rural) doesn't have the ability to do stuff that size. I didn't realize that the big issue was the draft tube hole that is punched into the repops. How come you guys aren't just getting a repop and welding in a round patch to fill the hole? Seems a lot easier than fabbing one from scratch or fixing up a cruddy old one!
I believe the hole is an early and late thing. Some have it, some don't. The replacements have the hole because some need it, and if it doesn't, it's no big deal. Looking back through old catalogs, there's several versions of the pan, dependent on different draft tubes which changed over the years. After 52, all other pans were made obsolete and the replacement was the 52 version.
