Got these in a box of C3 parts but not sure what they are. I have a 69 and there's nothing like this on mine. Perhaps a mount of some kind? Im sure one of you will recognize them! Thanks

They look like a lightweight trailer suspension bush for leaf springs

They're spring shackles and bushings for leaf springs, but what are they for who knows. The 53-62 Corvettes used spring shackles, but the end plates were different. Were there other early parts in with what you bought, if so they might be replacement shackles for a 53-62? You'd really need to have a pair of early shackles to compare the size of them too to know for sure.
