85snowdog Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have been helping a friend out. One of our jobs was changing doors on a Granite dumptruck. My question. The doors we got ,came from the states off an ABF truck. On top of the door ,above the window is a metal bracket with a big round pin. Curiosity has got the best of me. I can't figure what the bracket is. I'm thinking its for a safety harness or something. But don't really know. If anyone could shine a light on it ,I would appreciate it. I've enclosed pics of the bracket . Thanks. Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61875-question-about-abf-freight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurstscrambler Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Total guess, but CB antenna mounting bracket? It looks a little marred up, like it had one it the universal mirror bracket clamps on it.

85snowdog Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 That makes so much sense. I can't believe I didn't see it. The marks in it really had me stumped. I never thought of vise grip mount. Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I really appreciate it.
