lower flywheel cover?

hi all,
i've got a 57 223, 3 on the tree. as i was underneath the truck this weekend scraping off the layers of gook from every square inch, i was wondering if there is supposed to be a lower flywheel cover. right now, the ring gear/flywheel is exposed.
there is a smooth flange under the bell housing with what looks like holes for a cover...
what do you think?
photos in gallery?
thanks
andy

Yes, there should be a cover. That said, I have seen many a car and truck running without it.

I'd just make my own out of a small piece of sheet metal. Pretty easy project, just make a cardboard template and transfer it over to the metal.
