I'm fully in to tear down and put back together mode on the cab. In one, of many, boxes of stuff I find this. I don't recognize it and it doesn't have a Ford p/n on it. It did have some road salt residue on it, so I figure it's on the outside of the cab.

The first thing that came to my mind was the tire iron and spare tire lowering tools as seen in the yellow square below...

Sous is absolutely correct (as usual). As soon as I saw the picture, I knew what it was, primarily because I've recently had to remove the jack handle setup to change a flat at work.

Except the tire iron clip is facing wrong way. Unless I'm missing something.

Isn't there a guard behind the grille to protect the a/c condenser connectors? My memory from 4 years ago isn't very good...


Can you see it in the upper left corner of the grille from the front, and hooked around the a/c lines in the second photo?

Here's all I can say...that shield must have been laying under the radiator....because I personally took the AC condenser out....never saw it.
