Re: lightweight v8 project
You appear to be missing a few bits there.
Here's my tool fittings, I was also missing one support bracket when I stripped down the tailgate.
Not shown in my pic is the mounting bracket for the centre of the pick head.
The square shaped receptacle in the centre of your pic fits to the centre support rib of the seatback panel and is for locating the mythical grab rail.

Re: lightweight v8 project
Ah right I see I thought there were some pieces missing! For 20 quid I had to bid on them.. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the missing parts! Thanks
Re: lightweight v8 project
So I spotted this on eBay and I had to get it! I wasn't entirely happy with my heater when I'd finished painting it there was a lot of pitting! I want to get this truck look and good as I possibly can!
