Default Help me identify these parts

I have two of each of these brackets in my parts box that came with the 73 project and I have no idea what they are or where they belong. If anyone recognizes these I would appreciate the help. Thanks, Craig

The top picture looks like the radiator support bracket, not sure about the second picture. Hope it helps. :steering:

Bumper support brackets ?!? :confused:

That top one is too thick for a rad. support bracket and wouldn't make sense to have two unless it's for the bottom.

Top one is radiator support bottom to vacuum tube in bumper support.
I'm not sure on the bottom picture - maybe part of the nose/bumper suport.

The bottom one is for the arm rest it screws to the door then the door panel goes over it. I think it's the screw that goes through the top part of the arm rest.

The top one looks like the bracket on the head light motor for 84+. The second is a bracket that goes on the door on 78+ that receives the armrest attaching screw.

Yep, I think NHVETTE is correct about the top one, the 84 bkt is a little different.

I can't tell how large the top piece is. Almost looks like the bracket for the column lock cable.

Thanks guys, With these suggestions I can go through my AIM (which I have been through dozens of times) and try to find them again.

The bottom brackets could be for late C3 doors because this 73 came with late C3 doors as replacements. No wonder I couln't find them in the 73 AIM. Craig :cheers: :cheers:

I slid under the front end and sure enough the bracket in pic 1 goes between the rad support and the vacuum tube. Then I even found it in the AIM. Thanks again guys. Craig :hurray:
