I’m progressing on my 70 C10 and found this “shim” (for lack of better word) in a bag labelled front end “shuff”.

Any idea what this is/where it goes?

I have checked the “puzzle box” C20 parts truck and can’t find it on there either.

That's an "F" shim. wink
No idea where it might go, though. I've seen some that looked like a "Y" that are used to shim the sheet metal mounting points on a front clip. Maybe that one has the "handle" in a different position to make it possible to slip into place.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

It is used to shim the front fenders... which point exactly??? Mine fell out on the ground when i took the fenders off.

Re: 1967 c10 "F" shim??
Behind the inner fender, at the large bolt that goes to the firewall support.

Thanks fellas. Behind the inner fender seems logical. I will double check the c20 on the right side. Maybe it has one on that side. I think it is a cool looking shim. Bahaha!
