1. Top silver deal is the horn relay. Bottom is voltage regulator.
2. Factory standard box heater control. Deluxe is chrome and has levers.
3. All came stock with foot acuated solonoid button. Don't know what that is in your guage opening.
4. Sounds like the lower shaft bushing bolt is missing or loose. Or the bushing is worn out. Another possibility is that the whole bracket is loose, it is held on with two bolts to the frame. Have someone get in a move it around while you investigate from below. The shaft is pretty long so there should not be much play, mine has about 300K on it and is still tight. They need lubed on a regular basis, shaft is hollow with a zerk on the end.
5. I don't think you will get them at carquest. My memorie is they bolt on both ends so you can make them out or strap material. I MAY have mine laying around, I can take a look later tonight.
