Hi,
I've been on a four year break from my restore effort, and long story short I need to finish my body welding effort. I just got the body back from my friend of mind who started to put together but gave up so to magnitude. So now I'm trying to pick up where he left off and he gave me a box of loose sheet metal parts I have no idea where they go on the body. Can someone send me a picture of were these parts are welded on a bronco?
Thank you

That looks home made. Nothing like that on my 69. I don't have the aux tank or spare tire rack, but don't see how it could apply to those items.

This is the bracket that welds to the floor pan. The bracket on the back of the front wheel tub welds to it.

The bracket in the top image looks like the one that bolts near the front of the driver's floor pan and secures the aux tank straps.
I agree with @MarsChariot on the tank strap bracket.

The second pic is the weld in bracket for the dash at the top of the kick panel and below the windshield frame. The square hole holds a cage nut and the dash bolt attaches to it.

Those are rear lower shock mounts.
There is a left and a right and both welded to the rear axle housing.
Depending upon the year model of the bronco, most would weld at a slight outward and downward angle to the rear.
Early 66 models would’ve been angled to the front because the shocks mounted differently.

Does your axle housing already have shock mounts welded to it? If so, those are probably part of a dual shock kit intended to mimic the original lower mounts, but in the opposite direction to mount a second pair.

That's exactly right . Thank you. I must of gotten the dual shock kit. My original shock mounts are still good. I get nervous when I have extra parts as the bronco is getting put back together. In this case my extra parts are warranted.
