Hey all,

There's a couple weird things in/on the truck that I'm curious if anyone recognises.

There's also a bunch (like 6-8) of looks almost like 1/8 aluminum tubing coming through roof all along the back of the roof. I'll try to get a picture later.

those "tube looking" things are often known as "nutserts".
prolly had a fairing of some size at one time.

See I wondered about that but these are smaller than brake line and I've never seen nutserts or rivnuts that small.

I probably would have assumed that if they weren't all deformed so badly.

EDIT: I hadn't noticed until just now the "line" of paint where a fairing would have covered the roof on the back...

The plate/mount in the back looks a lot like the one that was in the front of my Chevy. Mine was an old ATT service truck, and that plate held an arm that housed their WLAN connection and the laptop they used. The interesting thing is it is in the back seat area.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Wish I had the other half!

It could of been for a wind deflector for pulling an RV.

I considered that. The only ones I've found bolt in more towards the middle but maybe.

That looks a lot like the mount for the car phone my dad had in his f350.

That on the roof makes me think of one of those wind deflectors maybe had wiring for clearance lights through those holes, noticing the paint line right there makes me think that something was on top of there at one point
