Hard to say for sure by looking down on them instead of directly at them from the front,but they MIGHT be the bumper ends for a 42 Dodge. In case you don't know the bumpers on the early 50's Dodge's were made from 3 pieces bolted together to the bumper reinforcement piece that runs full length from one side to the other, Edited May 18, 2017 by knuckleharley Quote
Johnny S Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 It's a gravel guard insert ... fits behind the bumper ..... the holes suggest to me that it's the front gravel guard ,,,,, not sure what specific year of application. Quote

I wrote 42 because just a couple of weeks ago I dissassembled a bumper for a 42 Dodge to send to another board member,and I am unsure if the 46 and later bumpers are still 3 piece bumpers,or one piece bumpers. BTW,the 42 bumper style was a one year only piece. Seems like everything on the body but the hood,the rear fenders and the trunk lid were 42 only. Edited May 18, 2017 by knuckleharley Quote

Reg Evans Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 My 42 has a 1 piece gravel shield and a 3 piece bumper. Quote
casper50 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) my 47 has a 2 piece front gravel shield. It doesn't look like that though. Edited May 18, 2017 by casper50 Quote

Reg Evans Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 Well, I did get one from Nuckleharley but before I can install it'll need re-plating. 1 Quote
greg g Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 Just my guess, a lot of 42 sheet metal smalls were unique to that year only Quote
