Do your trucks have this bracket, too? What is it for? I wonder if it anchors a back seat which my truck lacks? How have you removed yours? Thank you!

There would've been a small, and I mean SMALL board for a bench back there. My '87 xcab has one.

Thats the bracket that holds the factory bottle jack. If you don't want it then you will need to cut it off.

>>squint<< Yeah, Scerb's right; gads. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> If you still have the jack, I believe you can get the hold down piece from a junkyard or for a few bucks at the dealer. That's something you don't want to have flying around in the cab.

That's cuz if you're like me this far north, you've got the back fully CRAMMED. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

We picked up a rollover a few winters ago; I think the guy was headed up to Eagle. His full sized Bronco was so completely crammed with stuff that NOTHING shifted. Went over quite an embankment too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Don't have to cut it if you've got a BFH. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
