I have a couple of pieces of sheet metal that I believe go on my 36 ford pickup, but I cannot figger out where!. They were in the bed when I bought the pickup. Anyone seen these on their original truck?

Any hekp as to identifying these will be greatly appreciated. thx, Al

I am very familiar with 35-36 pickup stuff, mechanical and sheet metal, and I have never seen anything like this on either 35 or 36.

I don't recall seeing those on my truck, but mine was a basket case when I started (1936 1/2 ton)

sounds strange, but I believe those look like the fender to front spoiler inserts on a 70-73 Camaro??

Those are brake shoes for an aftermarket rectangular drum that almost swept the market due to its ability to stop on a dime. It was discovered that not many wheels could bolt right up to it without modification, so it faded from the scene as quick as it had appeared. As a wall hanger, the shoes are worthless without the matching drum.

Al - Oddly enough, my sons 73 Camaro is missing those pieces. It was even an original yellow car that was repainted black. Very coincidental. Want to sell them?

Thanks,

Neal

Neal,
I'm glad to find out what they go on. Sure, you can have them for, say $20? I'm not sure what shipping would cost, but should be minimal. I'm just glad you can use them. (I'll tell you what, that Allan is a sharpie! thx to all that helped

Al - OK, sounds good. Sent you a PM. Thanks, Neal
