The Ford Barn

Sunday trivia. I had my car in a shop that dismantled it but basically forgot how to put it back together...

So I have lots of parts that I see in the baggies they said came off my car and no idea what they are for.

Trying to put together Humpty Dumpty I think.

Thanks

I can`t tell by your pictures but if the big washer is thick with a 7/16 hole it is for the body mounting bolts. what size are the other two bolts. the L shape bracket looks to be a farmers fix.

Thanks, I think the washer may be something by the bottom of the rumble seat or near the rear tire mount bracket which has some small bolts with big holes, or maybe it may have been new for seat belts someone put in that I do not plan on using at this time. I suspect it is not original.

The second part is my main concern as it has a castle nut on the end and a very strange shaped clamp type washer that must fit something important. It is 5/8 wrench hex head, 7/16th diameter, 2 1/8 inch long with hole and castle nut.

Sort of feel the third thing is something screwed into wood and then pulled to adjust something.

Not sure

When I restored my 31 Cabriolet I found the same type flat washers with the cut off section. They were used in mounting the wood body sills to the frame. I never could understand why the cut portion on the washers because it serves no purpose to have them cut like thst.
