Ok - anyone recognize these springs? Seven inches long...

I need two more please

**SoCoC10** · 06-16-2018, 10:16 AM

Parking brake cable retainer springs?

Nope. Here's a hint: two per vehicle.

I demand a recount! I changed my guess before you replied!

bill3rail · 06-16-2018, 01:03 PM

Here are a few loose connectors I found while working under the hood.

These two could be almost anything...

This one however is totally unknown to me... Initially I thought proportioning valve wire, Nope! My proportioning valve has a female plug.

Side View

This one is easy, however my truck does not use this type of connector because it has an external regulator.

I saw this and your later post, not a clue, never seen or heard of them.

Here guys/gals, have fun, very doable

They might be a pinch hard to see, but descriptions are added for "clarity". Where are these bolts used?

**Curtb1971** · 10-03-2020, 12:57 AM

I'm going to take swing and guess the top and bottom bolts are for the rag joint?

X2 rag joint.

Just what few I've seen I'm surprised GM installed GR8 L8 bolts for a chrome bumper. Or any bumper unless HEAVY duty, but I'm no expert. Better the bolt busts then your frame I suppose, but your left hand horn will crack anyway if you strike a boulder, ask me how I know. Prior owner. Per my 71 L8 was used:

STEERING BOX BOLTS

UPPER CONTROL ARM BRACKET BOLTS - TOP These bolt on to fixed nuts like for the steering box. My truck had three original types, all GR8. One L8, One stamped with a circle, and two stamped with a dog bone.

ENGINE CROSSMEMBER TO FRAME RAIL WALL BOLTS. If memory serves me these take fixed nuts as well. So in a nutshell, if there's a fixed square nut in the frame for a 7/16" bolt you can bet it probably calls for GR8 "L8" type bolt.

On a side, I think there are many misconceptions where a GR8 should be used, GM didn't install many for good reason. I can say unless perhaps pulling a block, GR8 is out for long block components. Matter of fact someone long ago busted a GR8 on what's now a LH head, likely from doing just that. The heads came off a 68 Camaro BBC. I spent many hours drilling it out, and if not for my B/A son it would have been many more. I tapped it 7/16, though the hole isn't used.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-04-2020, 12:04 AM

How about these. Truck takes one, I have two. One is stamped "N" like the rag joint bolts. The other is stamped "WB".

Trivia, the "N" bolts on at least my ride were special bolts, for lack of a better term. Rag joint, bed to frame carriage bolts and this.

Double F were special bolts too, you know, like the one you guys haven't figured out yet post 138?

Redneck Rydes · 10-04-2020, 05:36 AM

Maybe steering shaft to column bolts

Yep. I think technically the pot joint clamp but you're right there.

Speak of right there, that double F bolt somehow missed post 138

I'm going to ride this out until you guys get it

John H. · 10-04-2020, 11:04 PM

The coin in the pic is the only clue for size. This maybe hard or very easy. One is orig and one NOS.

I give up the double hex "double F" bolt (post 138). So close - that bolt mounts the rag joint assm. to the steering box shaft.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-05-2020, 12:11 AM

I'm stumped on that grommet, looks familiar.

Where might 5/16-18 flange nuts be used?

One of these is 1/4-20, they were used with some heater hose retainers. I have two more someplace, they secure something to the dash

HotWheelsFan · 10-05-2020, 06:22 AM

I see what looks like shifting arm bushings...

Not shift lever auto or standard. No steering column or trans related. Probably only find on low mileage trucks. Took mine off with 25k miles. Found the NOS on EBay a couple years ago.

2 per truck

The '69 - '72 parking brake pedal bracket uses 3 of these 5/16" flange nuts. Two on the studs that hold the bracket to the firewall and one on the 5/16" bolt with small integral washer that attaches it to the bottom of the dash.

I think the engine compartment heater box might use a couple of the 1/4 -20 flange nuts.

Nailed it.

My heater box didn't use any, it took speed nuts instead. My LH front hanger had them, not sure if that's factory, doesn't seem right. Same as for the condenser on my other truck, strikes me as wrong, they were only on top.

**Furno68C20** · 10-05-2020, 11:12 AM

How about these?

Redneck Rydes · 10-05-2020, 12:09 PM

Valve cover grommet for the flame arrester that comes from the air cleaner

Nope, these are almost nylon or plastic, not rubber.
