Left, center, or right tooth? They are unique.

Boy you could have fooled me as they all look the same.
Guess I better take a better look in the morning.
Any suggestions how to tell the difference?
I noticed one had about a 10" brace bolted to one end.

We go through Albq. each year going up to Colo. so I might call if we go next year usually in late Aug. or early Oct.

They only fit one way. The cut outs to go around the center bar are asymmetrical on the ends and even on the center tooth. The 10" brace is probably the hood latch brace and (iirc) goes from the center bar behind the middle tooth to the upper panel at the hood latch.

If you stick the two you have on the bar, it will be obvious which side you're missing, as they will only be parallel to the front plane (not slanted) when in the correct position. The center piece has the bar attached, so you're lacking either the right or left side.

Sitting in the drivers seat, I need the left tooth & poss light bucket.
Would also like to get the left headlight bucket or the complete light bar with both buckets on them.
