Any suggestions on these?
I am reworking my rear bumper, and there are what appear to be "shims" that are
mounted between the mounting brackets and the bumper. They are rather
thin, L-shaped (and rusted away where they mount). I have a spare pair
from the other truck, but had planned on keeping the brackets attached to the
bumpers. Does anyone know their purpose?

And...
When determining the usefulness of spare items, what is a good rule of thumb? I
realize one mans junk is another mans treasure, but... examples:
I have a chrome grille in only fair shape (it has a crease in the passengers
side).. is it salvagable??? I would think not, but would hate pitching it if
someone would be able to use it.
Or...
Rear fenders that are rusted out where they mount to the bed.. I would imagine
they would be too difficult to actually fix and use,,, but the rest of the
fenders are in pretty good shape.. I read where someone cut patch panels
out of a fender........ again, not worth much, but would hate to pitch
something that could be of use to someone.
