Re: Anyone seen these before?

Yes, large tubing supports from the front of the cowl and down to the frame just like the picture up above. It was a GMC thing, but not all of them had them. I saved mine and a friend that was doing a restoration took them off my hands. I didn't want to put them back on because of how it cracked out the whole front of the cowl above the firewall, plus it rusted behind the plates sandwiched in the cowl.

My 57 GMC had the small brace rods from the hump in the firewall and out to the core support, and also the large tubing supports from the cowl to the frame. It was original and had the Pontiac 347 V8 too.
