What the heck are these brackets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone. I am getting ready to finish the wire harness install and also a headlamp relay upgrade. The windshield washer bottle needs to go somewhere around the drivers fender and real estate under the hood is running out to mount all the goodies and I want a clean almost factory look for the headlight relay location. In other words, I don't want to put the relays where the washer bottle needs to go, and I cannot find where the washer bottle bracket needs to mount. There is also an extra bracket that I have no idea what it is nor where it goes. I also have a 1970 chevy lwb, but it has a different washer bottle and bracket that are on the passenger fender because it has an aux. battery(camper special). I'm going to attempt to post pictures of them both and maybe someone can help me out.
Thanks,
James

Images not working. I mounted my relays for the head lights down on the support by the old voltage regulator. I did away with it though.

These are the brackets I was trying to show earlier...they look different than the 1970 lwb campers ws bottle bracket. By the way, I'm working on a 1972 K 10

I think that bottom bracket holds the vapor canister.

On my son's 72 4 WD Burb with aux. battery the washer bottle mounts on the fender liner. Here is a pic.

Sameyrasmea72, by Joe I believe you are right...Thanks for your input.
anybody know what the upper bracket is?
JimLshortstep4x4, thank you very much for the detailed picture. Mine was not there originally as I did not have an aux. bat., but I may want to go that route because I am going to add one and want that stock look(sanitary and tasteful).
Thanks again to both of you.
James
