not six as the silver ones. Do you have a picture of how and where these silver plates were mounted
in a Chevrolet as both MB-C1 & MB-C2 Manuals only depict the small individual plates.
Hi Bob,

What can I say, the nice Chevrolet CMP manuals (April 1942 - Sept.1943)
are to early for the light grey (silver) dash plates with the 6 holes.
The N.O.S. dash panel here below is a Chev one: part no. LV7/GM-5826341, late 1943 - late 1945.
The other 2 panel pics are from a C15A truck, w/o data plate, (stolen) !
More info / pics / drawings about dash details can you find in the several CMP
reference books etc. (after late 1943) !

Dirk
