Can someone please identify this part?

I got a couple bins of Bronco parts from a buddy, and I have no idea what this is. Notice it is stamped 73-77 Truck. Anybody know?
Thanks,
Tyler

I have an idea, but would need to see some other angles.
Obviously its not a Ford part. What is the distance between the large holes in the bottom flange?

Jon,
I added more pics.

BTW, the flat bezel NV3550 boot you sent me worked perfect with that shifter cover I have. Thanks for noticing that!

Thank you,
Tyler Doin

Oh wow! I was way off on that one! I thought it was much larger.
Could it be part of an aftermarket power window kit? ((I'm not familiar with the Gen 2 doors)

I should have mentioned it was sitting on a 68 visor for reference in the original pic. It came off of this 75 Bronco: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-ford-bronco-36/


I'm gonna look thru all these pics and see if I can figure anything out.

Did it ever have any PTO accessories on it? Maybe it’s a standalone bearing carrier case of some kind. Meant for a multi piece driveshaft.

Not overly robust looking, but it’s about the right size. Odd shape, though. Probably an oddity for an actual Ford truck. And not a bronco.

Smog pump bearing retainer?

Smog pump? I've heard of those.....

No PTO. Sure seems like some kind of adapter. Strange bolt pattern.

It didn't have a smog pump. When I use the images to search google it sure comes up with some interesting stuff, but none are a match.

Did you ask your buddy by any chance??

No, he's not a hands on type and did not pull the parts. I did touch base with the company that did all the work. They are also the one's that put the parts in the bins I got. They were stumped too, but it's been a couple years.

Here's a shot in the dark - Windshield wiper motor relocation or adapter bracket of some kind? just going on size & strange bolt pattern....

Speedometer cable housing to an aftermarket adapter?

Says Ford truck on it doesn’t it?

I asked Chatgtp and it came back WTF? Actually it just came back "This suggests it could be an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) automotive part, perhaps from a Ford vehicle or machinery component. The casting and machining details imply it's part of a housing or a bracket—potentially for a bearing, sensor, or mount."

Google image search said it was part of a Cummings hydraulics pump but it would not show that exact part but the parts were close.....

I assumed that he meant “Ford factory original“ part. Not that it wasn’t for a Ford truck, but that it was an aftermarket part.
But I could be wrong…

Grok Ai seems to think it's off of a 77 highboy F250, divorced transfer case something, It also kept saying the numbers said 7311 instead of 73-77 so little faith in that. Tried google also and the only picture any of them came back to reference with were the pictures from this chat .

Just for fun, here's a pic of the other side.
