After disassembling, sandblasting, and zinc coating almost everything on my Bronco, there are a few parts that I cannot ID. Any help is appreciated.

#1 - Was on the firewall, but may not be stock.
#2 - Think they're related to the dash or glove box?
#3 - No idea, but there was a nut and bolt with it.
#4 - No idea
#5 - No idea
#6 - 13/16th x 3 in from shoulder to end. Not a trans mount bolt.
#7 - May be related to Explorer Serp set up? May have a nut.
#8 - No idea

Thanks,

Jim

I only see 7 images?

#1 - Was on the firewall, but may not be stock. - stock '66 to '72 throttle linkage bellcrank anchor. "Bellcrank" might not be the proper term for this monstrosity, but it's at least similar.

#2 - Think they're related to the dash or glove box?

#3 - No idea, but there was a nut and bolt with it. - what did the nut and bolt look like? Normal or somewhat unusual?

#4 - No idea - Look similar to the drum brake pivot stud "separators" to keep the spring ends floating and not rubbing. Look a bit small for that, but there is something like that in a drum brake anyway. Also same basic part as a load-spreader for sheet metal things like valve covers. Keeps the bolts from only pushing down on one tiny point. Reduces the tendency to distort the metal and spreads the load for a better seal. There's another use for them, but I can't remember where I've seen them.

#5 - No idea -

#6 - 13/16th x 3 in from shoulder to end. Not a trans mount bolt. - looks like an upper trackbar bolt. Even with the penny there for reference, it does look a bit small to me, but it's the right shape and has a cotter pin hole, so check to see if that fits.

#7 - May be related to Explorer Serp set up? May have a nut.

#8 - No idea - It's the insides of a "no longer functional" electrical switch.;) Not sure which one.

#2 was hand-hacked. You can see the cuts on the R one.
#3 looks like a brake line clip.
#5 is either for a shifter or the suspension.
#6 is too blurry, but it looks like a Gr.8 bolt whose head has been ground round.
#7 is the guts of a switch or bulb socket.
#8 could be intake, water pump/timing cover, smog pump...

It would help A LOT if you listed EVERY part, system, option, & feature of the source truck. You don't even have its model year in your profile or signature.

The 8th pic has been added.

On #3, IIRC the nut was square and had a little square clip around it that covered the whole nut.

#4 - I don't think it's drum brake related, as I checked my disassembly pics and don't see it. I also checked the brake rebuild kit.

#5 was missing the pic, so #5 is actually the upper track bar bolt to the drop bracket on the frame.

#6 - still don't know. May be related to Explorer Serp set up? May have a nut.

#7 is the no longer functional electrical switch

#8 is the long bolt next to the Sharpie. 5/8 head x 4 5/8th's from shoulder to end. No markings on top of the bolt.

Thanks!

It's a 72, with various parts off of a 73 and 76. 3 1/2" WH lift, 35's, 95 351W, Tubular GT40 upper & lower, Mustang EFI, 96 Explorer Serp, 98 4r70W, 4x4x2 box, 2003 Cobra Hydroboost.

#6 is machined and not rounded. The top of the shoulder is square. Here is another pic.

Jim, are you getting your parts coated locally? I'd love to know your connection.

It's a 72...
We need details: engine; trans; trim level; each option that was factory-fitted, dealer-added, and each that has been delted; factory or aftermarket wiring harness (each section); every little detail COULD help us help you. And if you post them, we'd have to go looking back through all your posts every time we need to know something. So don't. The whole list needs to be in your signature &/or profile so it appears with EVERY post (even you older ones).
...with various parts...
SPECIFIC
Here is another pic.
You're holding the camera too close for it to focus.

#4 looks like the clips that hold the plastic choke cover on an Edelbrock carb, but there's usually 3 that I've seen on a 4 barrel, too small to be valve cover hold downs IMO.

# 7 agree w/ everyone else, guts from a broken old switch.

I'm no help on the other ones.

Roy Metal Finishing in Conestee, SC. They did great work and were very reasonably priced. $75 for 1 batch, which was all the bolts, nuts, screws, etc. All the bigger stuff was $ 75 per batch as well and it took 3 batches. Ask to speak with Alex Roy.
