Please Name That Part - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was using the impact to remove the cab mounts on my 1973 C20 and in the dust and crust on the garage floor underneath the passenger side footwell mount, I also found the part pictured below (two different views of the same part).

It's not piece of the mount bushing. Is it a front end part jarred loose when I was working on the cab mounts? Something else that coincidentally dropped off my truck? Or a stowaway that went for a ride in the innards of my truck but doesn't actually belong there? Any help would be appreciated...

Looks like the nut that goes on a full floating rear axle.

Looking at the diagram of the hub and drum for the 14-bolt/10.5" axle, I don't see anything that looks like the part I found. Here's the diagram: https://i.imgur.com/GkRYRqI.jpg

not super familiar with automotive sizes of these types of parts, but sure does look like a spindle nut of some kind to me..

notches and reliefs cut into them are for tools like these.. a little easier to make consistent bearing adjustments than channel locks..

as for the one in the op, looks to have a hex shaped flange to make adjustments..

here's a sample of a 14 bolt FF nut I found quickly googling that does look similar..

may belong to an altogether different make / model / year vehicle considering where it was..

good luck!

Yup - looks like you nailed it! https://www.amazon.com/Motormite-139.../dp/B001HZICZC

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I can rest assured that it's not from my truck. It must have been a hitchhiker; debris kicked up into the fender area or frame and finally dislodged when I was doing my work.
