I don't know what these are, but I think a lesson has been learned here, take pictures before tearing things down so one has a reference when putting things back together. My initial thought was adjustable rear leaf spring shackles, but there would have to be four of them.

I build street rods for a living and we always take pictures but when you are completely disassembling everything and are fabbing custom one off parts some times you just miss a piece or in the picture process.

Especially when the project sits apart for 2 years like this one.

The lesson is don’t take it apart until you are ready to go back together even when life throws you a curve ball or 2. Lol!!

This is the most recent Street rod I built every square inch of.

You guys may like this, place I even did the custom interior.

Part #2 looks like the rear spring hanger braces. My K30 has ones on the front and rear, not sure about the 2WD. It would be part #11 or the one with no part number to the right of #14.

I sure appreciate the help and the brake down but unfortunately (unless I’m just not seeing it) it’s still a mystery...

Think that goes on the bottom of the frame. Helps support the leaf spring hanger. I believe the shackel bolt goes though it then riveted to the frame.

Like this?

Only problem I see is there is only one rivet hole and it doesn’t quite line up.

I mean it looks good and I sure like the idea of putting it there and using it for that purpose.

I think that one goes on the front bracket. Looks like you have it on the rear one. But yeah, That’s the right idea.
I dunno about the other flat bar.

The 3 hole thing would those line up with the 3 holes in the bumper where the balls go? Like some kind of home made plate to strengthen the bumper? Idk.

Mine had the braces on the front and back hanger.
I mentioned it probably fits the front because it’s a little away from the frame in the spot he has it now. Lotta variations around the trucks . For a second I even thought it was a front bump stop from a 4x 4 but he says his trucks a C30.
Who knows. Educated guesses are all we have. I’m sure the parts could even be 1ton specific so us 1/2 and 3/4 ton guys aren’t much help.
