Default Stud/Bolt Identification

Just found these two bolts/studs. Can anyone help tell me what they are for? Pretty certain it's Corvette related, but not sure what they do.

Thanks,

Blair

Hi Blair,
Welcome!
First Post!!
And a mystery!!!
I really don't recognize them so I'd say they're not from a 68-72 Corvette.
Maybe a later one though?
How did they turn up? Do you have a car you're working on?
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Got them in a lot of parts I purchased. Generally, I'm a Chevelle guy, but couldn't pass on this parts lot. Mostly C3 stuff, but plenty of C1, C2 and C4 stuff included.

I'm slowly becoming a Corvette parts expert... After I complete the inventory, I'll probably be looking to sell the entire lot.

Default uuuummmm...

Trotline (fishing) weights; I have buckets full of them!

Seriously, maybe looks like a spring hooks on the center??

Those look to be like studs for mill clamps.

I suppose the picture isn't really that helpful without perspective.

Each piece is 3.5 inches long and probably 7/16 diameter.

Thanks for the feedback.

Those are kingpin bolts for a 53-62 corvette or late 30's chev.

Is the grooved center area eccentric? (Lopsided?). If so, then they are likely upper outer control arm bolts for 53-62.
