Front Bumper Guard Question


Jocko_51_B3B

Recommended Posts

I've seen front bumper guards in sets of three on 48-50 Pilothouse trucks, but the front bumper on my 51 has a license plate stamping in the middle of the bumper which eliminates having a guard in the center. Did the trucks starting with the 51's still have a factory option available for only two guards (one guard on each side of the license plate stamping) thereby eliminating the center guard? What year was the last year bumper guards were available as an option?

Two grille guards were the option for 1951-53 instead of three as used on the 1948-50 trucks.

$4.44 was the cost for both in January of 1952.

wonder if the bigger trucks had more? "Rob" also has holes for four guards. :huh:

 

Glen, if you don't already have the guards and you are looking to buy some, keep in mind there are at least two different sizes

The bigger 1-1/2 ton and up trucks get four front grille guards....    $7.40 for a set of Four! 698259266_GrillegaurdsHH.JPG.b88a3d5281e1eb66d77e124821e223c2.JPG
