Looks to me like the bottom mounts for in cab gas tank. By the pic they look like they are upside down compared to when they are installed.The bolts look like they are for the cab bushings that slide down thru the holes of gas tank mounts. If you look inside the cab on floor under back window you will see where they go.

The dimple sits on the floor in those recesses where your cab mount bolts go through. The semi-hem flange fits under the the fuel tank and the bottom flange of the fuel tank sits in the hem. Somebody on here was looking for a set a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I guess better keep them when piecing this truck back together.

If you're putting the in cab tank back in, you'all be needing those. If not you can probably sell them on here. Nobody makes an aftermarket version, to my knowledge.

I try to never throw out or recycle old parts/engines until a project vehicle is completed.

An exception is a donor vehicle that just takes up space but there might be parts like clips, bolts, brackets, etc. that you don't think are needed but could be needed. If in doubt, take it off anyway.

This is just my worth. But this will save your butt. Get yourself a complete set of books on your truck. First book you need is the Shop Manual. Second book you need is the Parts Number Book. Third book is the Illustration Book. Forth and fifth and sixth items are your wiring Diagram, Paint Color Chart and Owner's Manual. Take it from me. You will be glad that you got them and when you sale the truck, include the complete set including the wiring and Paint Color Chart and of course the Owner's Manual. Weather it's a truck or car I always get the books and look through them and get familiar with the vehicle and take a lot of pictures. You will be glad.

You are right. I forgot about the complete set being on CD. I like the paper version because I can keep it in my shop and don't have to worry about damage to the CD's. Paper doesn't matter. But having both is good too. One in your shop and CD in your house.
