Default Hup bumper mounting brackets

I got a request for photos of the HUP (44 or older) bumper mounting brackets. Believe it or not, I only had one HUP nearby with said brackets. They appear to be 8 inch by 4 inch plate metal (same thickness as the frame) that has been bent 90 degrees forming an even "L" shape. As seen in the photo, the end of the frame side bracket has been cut on an angle leaving approx one inch bottom of the bracket. Three holes are drilled on the frame mounting end which held rivets, and four holes drilled in the bumper end to match the "D" rings. I am not sure if the weld was a post war mod or not.

I suspect that the weld is a modification rather than a production line effort. Off the top of my ever more hairless head, I can't think of any factory welded joints on a Chev frame.
There are some odd mixtures of bolts and rivets too, some of them can be explained by assembly order and access, others look like either a rivet failed and was replaced by a bolt or someone either had to remove a part that had been riveted and used bolts to reassemble or sometimes another part was added that used an original rivet hole, drilled out and replaced by a bolt.

Your description is excellent. The chassis in my back garden doesn't have the weld though, so I presume yours has been welded when one of the rivits failed (?)

Default Sunday at the Barn

Not much to report from the barn. I spent the morning cleaning up rusty parts and organizing the shelters for winter. More parts were sent to the shed, which is now well-stocked with CMP parts that will see future use. Bob worked on his wheels preparing them for mounting. Grant buzzed around the barn working on bits and pieces including his seat frames. We also chatted about the manuals that popped up on MLU recently. This forum is a never ending source of ideas, parts, and reference material.

After a quick lunch at Mike's Place in Hammond, Grant and Bob did some "boxing" - see pic below. There was some confusion as to how the long tool box with the one piece lid actually fit on the frame of a C15 cab 11. Any ideas?

Grant and Bob "boxing":


Bob then tended to the seasonal display of lights. Grant headed back to work, and I headed home to clean up the back yard - a herd of 6 year old boys invaded the place and as is their practice, left their marks. I wish I could use all that energy at the barn!

Default Boxed in.....

Was trying to take some measurments and pictures for Gordon.......

Info will be posted on MLU eventually.....

Part of my problem is how the tool box was fastened to the frame.....of course itr was 5 years ago when I removed it and I can harldy remember last week. ...but I do have pictures.... and some hand drawn sketches.

Originally the tool box was intalled..... over the T case frame crossmember...but in my situation the previous owner has\d change the Tcase for a 2 speed with sticks out higher in the suqare opening of the corss member...... which implies that some wood spacers "may" have been used. I remember that my tool box was held by J bolts that went through the bottom of the box

The bottom of the box is also drilled for two different frame width.... the inside holes are even with the C15a frame rails... the second set of holes are about 6 inches wider......and are not drilled completely through the bottom of the box......

Pictures will help sort out the holy issue.

Meanwhile..... if anyone has a reasonably original box set up I would be interested in how it is mounted to the frame.

It has been quite quiet at the barn. The focus in the past two weeks has been domestic. Bob has been working on wood and exterior Christmas decorations. Grant has been busy taking care of an ailing parent. Other than puttting on the snow tires at the barn, I've been tethered to my significant other (the wife, that is) preparing our house for sale. I hate painting walls (unless they are CMP vehicle walls), but that is my fate for the next few weeks...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Grant's father.
