What are these things?

I bought a Supercab for parts and these were in the front seat. The PO said that they were valuable and might have something to do with lifting the body? I am a boring old timer so does anybody know if this is correct? They are heavier than they look so I imagine they could support just about anything...

They look like radius arm drop brackets, which would allow you to put in bigger lift coil springs (on half ton trucks)

They look like some kind of drop brackets for a lift kit maybe. Maybe for a half ton.

I think you should push them to some-one that wants to get high.

It's less nerve racking if you're high at the time.

Reminds me of the old MAD magazine joke - "uptight" = getting intoxicated on an airplane
