The guys on the site Rusty Bowtie are wondering about what the brackets on a members 37 sedan might be. Here is a quote

My son's 37 Chevy sedan has these brackets up front..they look like tow bar brackets and factory installed?

Anyone see anything like this?
Frame bracket Front
Frame Bracket 2

Here are the pictures of the frame brackets. As you can see they appear to be factory installed and riveted in place

Yes I agree. What models in 37 had knee action and what models had parallel leaf springs.

That is where the front of the front leaf spring mounts on a Master.
The Master Deluxe with knee-action does not have this.

But if it has knee action units installed, those brackets could easily become tow bar connections.
