There is a tube attached to the passenger side. Is this a fire truck item?

That holds the tube/pipe/leg that is 1/3 of the support for the machine gun ring if the truck is so equipped. This part is on ALL trucks. Do not remove as it forms a spacer on that side of the truck/cowl.

Well it is coming off. I will put a space in its' place. It is up for sale now!

I know some of you must be crying at what I am doing to this nice truck. I am sorry about that.
