Let's play name that part, bolt, harness, screw....

Your name says it all metal and wood floor adjustable brackets.

Yep. Door latch to door.

The smaller versions are used to affix the lift gate strut to the lift gate on K5s.

Is this a fuel pressure regulator or what?

In line pump?

Anyone know where these seals go? I know generally but not the exact spot.

[stsalvage]

that Excssery bolts have so many uses.I now use them as new ground location's all over your truck makes it easier to get to and i can add more then 1 ground to the bolt.Plus if i need to use both sides in the cab i can cleans up my grounds.I have them for metric bolts and standard and fine tread.its all about making my life easier.

But the one i never see you guys showing on this whole site is the AC bracket for a 250 or a 292 Inline 6 I know nova's had them so did impala's But for the life of me never seen a chevy or GMC truck with AC with a inline 6

seen it with the 305 V6 so show me some inline 6 with AC from 1960--72.they are harder to find then the rarest GMC 1 ton short bed or the crew cab 4 door 1960--72 trucks.i've never seen any pics with the factory AC with that big A6 compressor

[DeadheadNM]

I believe this is the correct location for these seals....

[DeadheadNM]

Ok - anyone recognize these springs? Seven inches long...

I need two more please

[SoCoC10]

Parking brake cable retainer springs?

Nope. Here's a hint: two per vehicle.

I demand a recount! I changed my guess before you replied!

[bill3rail]

Here are a few loose connectors I found while working under the hood.

These two could be almost anything...



This one however is totally unknown to me... Initially I thought proportioning valve wire, Nope! My proportioning valve has a female plug.

Side View



This one is easy, however my truck does not use this type of connector because it has an external regulator.

The "washers" for tail light bezel screws came up, these can work as a replacement, though you can buy #8 counter sunk washers that are close.

The package calls these ferrule washers, but I think they're really "Cup Washers" or "Neck Washers". Difference is, these are #10, the original screws are #8. No sign of a #8 replacement "cup-washer".

The length is a bit too long. I mostly ruined the first with my vise, that doesn't work, but luckily the package has five pieces So the last four were slipped onto a nail to hold it in place without ruining them, with just enough play so the washer spins freely between the vice & nail head of the nail for an easy cut with a Dremel. I cut more than I needed, Curtb1971 provided the exact measurements previous page. Can sand/polish the top rim using the nail if need be.

I saw this and your later post, not a clue, never seen or heard of them.



Here guys/gals, have fun, very doable They might be a pinch hard to see, but descriptions are added for "clarity". Where are these bolts used?

[Curtb1971]

I'm going to take swing and guess the top and bottom bolts are for the rag joint?

X2 rag joint.

Ding ding ding. Then you know the other one too?

Just what few I've seen I'm surprised GM installed GR8 L8 bolts for a chrome bumper. Or any bumper unless HEAVY duty, but I'm no expert. Better the bolt busts then your frame I suppose, but your left hand horn will crack anyway if you strike a boulder, ask me how I know. Prior owner. Per my 71 L8 was used:

STEERING BOX BOLTS

UPPER CONTROL ARM BRACKET BOLTS - TOP These bolt on to fixed nuts like for the steering box. My truck had three original types, all GR8. One L8, One stamped with a circle, and two stamped with a dog bone.

ENGINE CROSSMEMBER TO FRAME RAIL WALL BOLTS. If memory serves me these take fixed nuts as well. So in a nutshell, if there's a fixed square nut in the frame for a 7/16" bolt you can bet it probably calls for GR8 "L8" type bolt.


On a side, I think there are many misconceptions where a GR8 should be used, GM didn't install many for good reason. I can say unless perhaps pulling a block, GR8 is out for long block components. Matter of fact someone long ago busted a GR8 on what's now a LH head, likely from doing just that. The heads came off a 68 Camaro BBC. I spent many hours drilling it out, and if not for my B/A son it would have been many more. I tapped it 7/16, though the hole isn't used.

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

How about these. Truck takes one, I have two. One is stamped "N" like the rag joint bolts. The other is stamped "WB".

Trivia, the "N" bolts on at least my ride were special bolts, for lack of a better term. Rag joint, bed to frame carriage bolts and this.

Double F were special bolts too, you know, like the one you guys haven't figured out yet post 138?

[Redneck Rydes]

Maybe steering shaft to column bolts

Yep. I think technically the pot joint clamp but you're right there.

Speak of right there, that double F bolt somehow missed post 138 I'm going to ride this out until you guys get it

[John H.]

The coin in the pic is the only clue for size. This maybe hard or very easy. One is orig and one NOS.

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

I'm stumped on that grommet, looks familiar.


Where might 5/16-18 flange nuts be used?

One of these is 1/4-20, they were used with some heater hose retainers. I have two more someplace, they secure something to the dash

[HotWheelsFan]

I see what looks like shifting arm bushings...

Not shift lever auto or standard. No steering column or trans related. Probably only find on low mileage trucks. Took mine off with 25k miles. Found the NOS on EBay a couple years ago.

2 per truck
