And the Mystery bracket is???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chrismoore701 · 10-25-2011, 07:49 PM

I was going through my cabinet getting brackets ready to paint, and I found this one. Any ideas? I can't figure it out. I have a '79 doing a frame off and have no idea where this came from, I looked at the assembly manual and LMC and I can't figure it out, could you help me out? thanks

It looks like a bracket that goes from a core support to tha hood latch bracket..

grs · 10-25-2011, 07:57 PM

it looks like a bracket that goes behind the grill for the hood latch.

chrismoore701 · 10-25-2011, 10:53 PM

If you look at the picture on the left, I have the three brackets and the one in the pick is not there, do you guys have any pics?

Went back and looked at LMC. Doesnt really look like any of the ones pictured. But maybe it is?

chrismoore701 · 10-26-2011, 09:38 AM

No I don' think that is it, I have the battery tray and both pieces are still together, the funny thing is, it is completely rusted, unlike any other park I took off the truck, I did have rust, but not total, I think I might just sand blast it and paint it black, that way If I find out where it goes, it will be ready to bolt on. Still $1 to who ever guess the bracket

jdheff1982 · 10-26-2011, 12:04 PM

I don't believe it is part of the front engine bracket for the pumps / alt. What are the dimensions of the part? That might help shed some light. Hard to tell how big it is w/o something to compare it to.

THE "10" SILVERADO · 10-26-2011, 12:05 PM

I just went through the entire LMC catalog. I didn't find anything that resembled that bracket....sure you didn't mix parts with another project or something? lol

chrismoore701 · 10-26-2011, 10:15 PM

The bracket is about 8" x 10". I am beginning to wonder if it is from something else, but I can't figure it out. Thanks for looking

I agree.....core support bracket

ozark · 10-27-2011, 12:01 AM

I haven't looked at any pics to support this opion yet but I'm thinking maybe a bracket for a exhaust heat shield under the truck for a muffler or cat. converter(I don't even know if 79 had cat. converters).

chrismoore701 · 10-27-2011, 08:14 AM

It did have a cat, I will look into that thought

exhaust wouldn't have a bracket that big..

Didn't say exhaust, I said a exhaust shield.

Would it by chance go in the void between the inner fender and the firewall???

chrismoore701 · 10-27-2011, 09:31 AM

No I just put the inner fenders together and nothing is missing there and I think that shield mounts straight to a cross member

Slonaker · 10-28-2011, 01:14 PM

I think it goes up under the dash, maybe around the pedals? I recognize it, but can't remember where I have seen it...
