    M37 Tail light / marker light rubber seals

    photo needed of door carrier lock

    Front Spring "Hooks"

    I believe they were used at the factory to move the frame along the assembly line but have no facts to back up that statement. No one I have ever talked to actually knew what they were for. I offer this as my opinion only.
