I need help with my restoration I am just closing in on. I have a bunch of these heavy washers that are .180 thick. The outside diameter is 1.300, which is just over 1 1/4. And the inside diameter hole is .450, not quite 1/2. There are 7 or 8 of them. I had all the parts bagged up 12 years ago but the mice got in them and destroyed the bags. Here are some pis that I hope will help. Thanks

They are a little over 1 1/4 inches in diameter and pretty thick, about 3 normal washers thick

Those are for a 7/16" bolt, body mount bolts are 7/16".
Bumper?
Did it have a trailer hitch?

no trailer hitch. yes 7/16 hole through them. I just put new body mounts on it and they came with a normal thin washer for the top, where the bolt runs through them. I did notice the washers dished out when tightened so I should have sandblasted these original ones and used them since they are 3 time thicker than what cam with the new body mounts. Ford knew what they were doing better than these replacement parts I guess.

It did have the rubber floor originally. I see one of them has the red glue or whatever on it. I hope they aren't transfer case washers of some kind. It looks like they are seat belt and seat washers probable. thanks guys

Transfer case top washers were thick, but I don’t think they were quite that thick. Nor were the bolts that small. I don’t think…
But the lower washers were big square thingies, and most likely there were never eight of either of them.
Look too small in diameter to be for the body mounts. And never seen anything that thick on a body mount before either.
Certainly not one for every body mount location. No need for that.

Got it all figured out thanks to you all. The washers are for seat belts and seat. My goal was to put the underneath together using all the original hardware and parts which I now have done. I wasn't planning on waiting 12 years to get back on it but that happens. I should have protected the packaging from damn mice cuz I had everything marked in packages and they destroyed the packaging. thank you all so much
