Is this correct for the p/steering frame clamp? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this in a bunch of parts I have.
Is this correct bracket for the power steering lines frame clamp?
It doesn't seem correct to me as I thought the retaining bolt went in from the top?
If it fits I may use it, in this application, even if it's not technically correct.

After I wrote this I found it in the manual. Called a clip.
Guess it is not correct. Anyone know where I may have come from?

AC maybe from the battery tray clamp

i will check my truck shortly when i go to the shop but it does look like the clip for the A/C lines under the battery tray.i know the bolt in my power steering lines does go down into a nut under the frame rail flange.i will check.

I tried it on the air battery box and it fit perfectly.
Thanks you guys nailed it.

If anyone has the factory correct p/steering clamp I would be interested.
Summit sells one that is close. Made by "The right stuff".
It is $3.99
I would like to see them both side by side.

Is the retaining bolt threaded into the frame or is there a nut on the back side?
