58 Steering arm support

[Roberto L.]

Hello, a friend owner has a 58. He sent to me the picture below to identify the steering arm support piece (fasten to chassis with 4 bolts). He wants to know, if possible, the casting number or legend barely visible in the picture.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Best regards

Roberto, here an article that Roy Braatz wrote a while back on idler arm. Also, included a photo of an idler arm along with the '58 Parts & Accessory book front suspension illustration. Gary....

Roberto:

The third arm bracket number you are looking for on a '58 is # 3742688-I had a '57 bracket on my '58 and switched it out for the proper one, which along with having the correct number, also has a thicker rear flange than the '57 bracket (part # 3727511).

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
