Hi all,

I recall seeing an article about a new door latch system designed by the Fat Fendered Street Rod Shop (FFSRS) specifically for '47-'55 Chevy pickups.

Would anybody know what magazine that was in? Within the last 4-5 months. I looked in my Classic Trucks and Custom Classic Trucks magazine to no avail.

FFSRS's website is no help...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi gang,

I've been waiting for about 4 months for a brand new, modern design, 3" dropped axle for my '52 Chevy pickup. Last week I sent Cen-Pen another email and the OWNER got back to me this time. He told me he has a dealer order to fill and promised me I was next and should get my axle this month (email was dated the 15th) so I'm even closer to getting it.

I can hardly wait...

... I've noticed that Brothers are now selling (producing?) a repopped speaker grille c/w ashtray for the '47 to '53 Chevy pickup dashboards.

Can anyone tell me (preferably someone who has purchased one of these) if the grille portion/ashtray is made of stainless steel. I know that the upper name plate and lower trim are stainless steel but I'm not sure about the grille portion/ashtray.

I'd like to purchase one of these units and have the grille portion/ashtray polished.

Thank you all for your help.

Hi all,

Brothers make a conversion kit for '47-'59 Chevy pickups that will adapt a late model power steering box. I have a few questions that are puzzling me.

Which model number Saginaw steering box does the Brothers kit adapt? Are there more than one that can be used? Are there casting numbers on the box?

On their website, in the installation instructions, they seem to show 2 different installations. One which bolts the late model steering box straight to the frame using one existing bumper attachment bolt hole, 2 new ones you must drill through the side of the frame and a fourth you attach to a triangular tab welded in the appropriate place on top of the frame. The other installation (Stage 1) shows an adaptor plate between the new box and the frame. Which installation is the '47-'55 one?

Any help on this conversion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do mono leaf springs have center bolts?  I'm talking about mono leaf conversion springs with a 4" drop for '47-'55 Chevy pickups.

Also, can you re-arch a mono leaf spring?

Thank you.
