Whatever happened to that Center Moriches B - pretty odd grill modification.

My guess, they must have had an overheating problem and installed a larger radiator and modified the grill for more air flow. It looks like the radiator was taller than the original, hense the unusual sheetmetal modification to the front top of the hood. The original cooling systems in those old trucks were not meant to keep those "big" engines cool! Remember the days when teams put a large block of ice on top of the radiator with the hood propped open as it would not close with the block of ice in there. This was done to keep the engine from overheating during the parades they were required to be driven in for every drill.
