Dodgebawl Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Could someone please post a picture showing the hood rubber bumper location for a 49 B1B? I ordered a pair from Roberts but from what I have been reading on the forum they are not as tall as they need to be. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 sadly I don't think anyone has the "right" bumper for the PH trucks, I ordered them from everyone that advertised them and they all were a little small. So I got a bunch of bumpers from Restoration Specialties, found one that was too tall and and cut them to the right height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley S. Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 There is one on each side next to the radiator support rod. I am sure I am using the wrong terminology. Mine fit nice, I think I got them from Ropberts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgebawl Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bradley, thank you very much for posting the photo showing the hood bumper location. Mystery solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 ok, looks liek for the earlier models the ones from Roberts would be correct, but they aren't for a 51+, sorry for any confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 The pads on the '48 only have marks left on the sheet metal where they once were, but I've got a remnant of the hood bumper pad on the '49, dunno how thick it needs to be but judging from the rub marks on the hood, it probably wouldn't hurt to put some sort of anti-squeak on the radiator shell to cut down on the chafing. The Spring Special still has its hood bumper pads intact, but the ones on the flatbed are long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 FWIW the local hardware store had bins with rubber bumpers like that. They matched the ones I'm using on my 48 ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaywood Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 665-3122 Balkamp part number from NAPA. Used them on my 48 D24 without problem. I think in paid about 5 bucks for a pack of 5. They looked a bit taller than the ones on my car but the hoods line up better with the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
