  Just brought home a new project. Got a pair of iron pieces O1A-7844636 and 7844637. What are they?

  I was unable to find those P/N in the body parts catalog. I suggest that you post a photo of the parts that you want identified.

  Thanks Tom! Here's a photo. I thought at first they were for the seats however, they are probably structural attaching to the wood.

  Many moons ago I used to have a 40 delivery and I think those pieces go in the back corners with the small part that is at a right angle on the bottom, the long piece pointed up. Hold them in there and see if you can find where the 2 screws match up with holes in the floor or floor bracing. Might be all wrong with my memory but those do look familiar.

  I've held and turned in every conceivable direction and I can't see how they fit at the back. I'll maybe try placing all the loose wood back in and see if I can see if it makes more sense. Thanks for the idea.

  Deuce-Roadster is correct, I was at a junk yard about a year ago and they had a 41 Ford Sedan Delivery that had been made into a pickup, in the rear cargo area to the left and right of the rear cargo door opening was a pair of brackets as seen in your photo. I did not pay a lot of attention at the time but I thought the brackets were to maintain the structural integrity of the door opening and possibly rear body mounts but the floor had rotted away so I could not tell for sure.

  I figure they must fit around there somewhere, Oddly enough after cleaning off the silver paint, they are actually made of cast bronze. Thanks everyone for your help!

  vwtinman,
I also have a '40 sedan delivery project. those brackets are in place in mine and I can send you a photo. (might be a week or so before I can get to it) they go in the upper rear r & l hand corners of the cargo area. what do you have for seats?
Thanks,
Don
