strike 3 Dan

Justin is also incorrect

these are factory installed parts not something added aftermarket or dealer installed.

since this appears to be very tough i will give one additional hint

they are NOT on 65-66 2wd trucks

lineman1984 · Post by **lineman1984** » October 14, 2015, 7:29 pm

So, not on I-beam trucks...

ICEMAN6166 · Post by **ICEMAN6166** » October 14, 2015, 11:48 pm

correct

Brian, based on your hints my truck should have them, AND I should know where they are?

Cannot wait 'til the 'aha' moment.

I'm grabbing at straws here:)....cuzz I don't have any wrench time in on mine yet, but my two educated guesses are:

a bracket for the headlight adjusters to thread into??

or something to do with attaching the grille, but the fact that 65/66 don't use them tells me this one is a long shot

James

you are on the right track with the first one although the location and purpose is incorrect

but you do have 2 on your truck

i decided to let this run until Sunday, if there is not a winner by then i will reveal the answer
