I don't need a pic. but thanks Greg. Pjmoreland probably nailed it, they're for manual brakes, and a clutch. At the moment I'm pondering how to insert the steering shaftsNot how they line up but so it fits, though I haven't tried yet. First thing I installed was the seal and retainer and inserted the jacket & shift tube assm. through the front. I tried inserting it from the cab and then installing the seal, but I don't have the patience for that, nor does the insulation.

For a guy who didn't know anything when I tore this down, failed to scribe for alignment for instance, the nice thing about the shafts and jacket is with a little study of the pot joint they only fit one way. The tab on the brake pedal support inserts into the jacket as a safety provision, but for orientation even better.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
