VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1936 Chevy Radiator Support Rods ?

I have a 1936 Chevy Sedan and if you google 1936 Chevy Radiator Support Rods you find none.

I know they look similar to the ford I am guessing I have to measure and purchase according to length?

Looking for two top pieces of the hood as well any ideas where to look?

Thanks this site is a great tool, really appreciate the help so far!

The radiator support rod on a 1936 Chevrolet is one (1) rod. It is shaped like a "V" or a wishbone depending on how you are looking at it. The ends bolt thru the firewall and the bottom of the V bolts to the grill shroud. You are unlikely to find them at a supply house. You have to hopefully find someone who hot rodding a 36 and somehow does with out them. Might be a difficult search.

Looks something like this:

Keep an eye on eBay and check in Hemmings for working junk yards. The one in the link might be able to be modified to work?
