OK, one more for today....but don't get used to having this many in this short a timespan. In the future I'll probably keep this to one every few days.

This item can only be found on select '70-'72 models. What is it, and what does it bolt up to?

Looks kind of like it was at one time a funky factory swaybar for twin I beam trucks.

OOOOOHHH!!! OOOOHHH!!! I know this one!

Its the factory A/C drain tube.
The little tab holds it to the outside of the firewall and it snakes up to the hole in the firewall where it connects to the A/C evaporator housing to drain off the water drippings.

Sharkdance, your too good for this game!!!

Sharkdance got it!

You'll only find these on '70-'72 trucks with factory A/C. The '68-'69 trucks only had a small rubber hose that went down through the passenger-side floorpan and then out through the front of the cab mount.

Here's a shot of the '70-'72 version installed on a '70 Ranger XLT:

Better Late than never. I happen to know that it also is on all facory AC trucks even on a 68. Cause my 68 f250 Camper Special has the same. Now it could have been replaced early in life, but it looks original. Ray

my 68 F100 has only the rubber hose only and not the metal tube.
