I thought these trucks all used the 'top mount' battery hold down, with J hooks?

No one specified that it is a 73-79 Ford hold down
As far as I know they all do use the j-hook hold downs. I'm not totally sure what it is from. Someone will know. Use it as a paperweight or something.

Is that may be a hold down tab for the jack handle or lug wrench under the seat

To me it looks like a broken off piece of the jack hold-down.
Can you show me any other angles of that piece ?

Old style Battery hold down plate.
Battery cases come/came with a notch/ridge on both sides.
Bill should have a reference for older trucks

I'm guessing jack wrench holddown from under the seat. I think I had one of these in my truck.
