Just guessing....trans linkage?

LOW DOUGH · 01-04-2010, 04:08 PM

I'm thinking rear bumper bracket... But, I don't know. Just a guess.

Andy4639 · 01-04-2010, 04:36 PM

Guessing "Muffler hanger"!

sjarrett71 · 01-04-2010, 04:39 PM

After an exhaustive internet and library search and after talking to the the gentleman that actually designed the part I have your answer.....a headlight fluid adjuster checker lever. That'll be 19.95 please!

Do I need to get halogen fluid for that?

I still have one bracket from my '66 restoration that I don't know where it goes. Truck seems to be OK without it.

I was just looking at my pile of parts for my '67 and saw one that I can't remember where it goes. Oh well - the lighter it is the faster it goes...

Daves72'GMC · 01-04-2010, 05:03 PM

I'm wondering if he accidently got this part in my box during one of the other restorations he was doing while he was doing my restorations.

No project is finshed with out some extra parts.

rsavage · 01-04-2010, 05:49 PM

I believe that it is the bracket that the muffler bearing bolts to:
"

"

rsavage · 01-04-2010, 05:52 PM

Or, it might be a part of the lowering kit:

Oh that's classic. It's probably a bracket from a '52 Studebaker that found it's way into your parts.

Daves72'GMC · 01-04-2010, 07:42 PM

You guys are very funny,come on any suggestions? if not it must not have come from my '72GMC.Thanks Dave

77chris03 · 01-04-2010, 07:51 PM

hilarious....

Shaky · 01-04-2010, 07:54 PM

Sorry for the fun at your expense. That looks like automatic transmission linkage stuff to me, but I'm not sure.

rsavage · 01-04-2010, 08:17 PM

Dave's72GMC- Sorry for the funny answers. It does sort of look like part of the auto trans linkage - is it the piece that bolts onto the frame? I don't have a stock one on hand to check for sure.

Daves72'GMC · 01-04-2010, 08:35 PM

If you guys find out please post a pic, so I know how it bolts up. I have a '72 BB truck with the turbo 400 AT. I guess I asked for it .Thank you. Dave

**68 Stepside** · 01-04-2010, 09:49 PM

I have to go against the grain and say it's not part of the auto trans linkage. That being said, I don't have a clue as to what it might be. Perhaps it's the flux capacitor bracket?

jay6891 · 01-04-2010, 09:58 PM

I vote for the auto trans bracket also. looking for a pic for ya.

teeitup · 01-04-2010, 10:00 PM

Dave, in my years parting I've never seen one on our years. Its not a Automatic linkage part off our years.

jay6891 · 01-04-2010, 10:06 PM

ok, I changed my vote after looking at pics.

unclewatts · 01-04-2010, 11:50 PM

It ain't a rear bumper bracket as I just installed a pair of new ones and their longer than that. Heavy duty ashtray retainer for a C-30?
