Anyone know what this is?

I got a big box of misc. 50 Chevy parts given to me. I found this in the box, guy tells me all of these parts are off of a 1950 Styleline he used to own. I have a bone stock 50 Styleline and do not have this part on my car anywhere. Anyone know what it is? Thanks

 

ya it's for bad lower ball joints on older Chevies Ubolts to the lower control arm with the cup under the ball joint. they were pretty common in the 50s and 60s

 

3 minutes Leon in including typing time!

 

So it is just a jerry rig, cover up a problem type thing?

 

I just asked this same question a couple weeks back!

I see....looking at it installed makes more sense. I guess if it worked.

 

I just checked Ebay, one on there right now. $23.00
