    I believe it's a 37 Chevrolet.
     
  8. 49ratfink ... You have a '36 Chevy hanging off the top of your head? :D

    i see that now lol...it was labeled wrong on google lol...
     
  10. Yep that is it. Thanks Guys
     
  11. I'm wondering if the factory would have used cast brass in '37. Pot metal would be more like it. SOOOO if it's brass, maybe it's a early reproduction piece!!!
     
  12. I kind of thought the same thing. If you look at the bottom of it where you bolt it on there are no holes in it.
     
  13. Unlike pot metal, they'll chrome up beautifully...and stay that way...
