Shackle Cover

Recommended Posts

For some reason I am missing both of these covers on each side of my box. Does anyone have a pair of these they would be willing to part with?

From what I've seen, the 1/2 ton high side boxes have those covers for working on the spring shackles. The 3/4 and 1 ton boxes are wider and as such have more clearance room between the bed side and the shackle. Because of that there is no removable plate there on those beds. And the low side box from the earlier trucks, and also used on Pilot-House trucks have a cut out for the shackle, but have no cover at all.

I have a high - sided box on a 1/2 ton with no cut outs, only a bump out in the side panel sheet metal on the rear only. I'm sure it's the original box to the truck which I thought was a '52 but was titled as a '51. ID # is T30647191. Maybe someone can tell me what year it really is.

this got me curious, so I checked the '48 short bed, the '49 extra long bed & the '51 short bed out front: none had this cover. The short beds have the stamping so they don't need a cover, and the 1 ton is so wide that it doesn't need extra access. Makes me wonder if this is a California vs. Michigan thing...
