Missing part?

[Sigi]

Need your help again!
Here is a picture of the truck I bought at a recent auction (M1123). There are four bolts (upper left corner of pic) on the transmission support bracket

that are not attached to anything. Is there a cross brace missing or did underbody armor go there? What is supposed to go there?

That isn't on my M998, so I'm guessing armor or skid plate attachments. (Mine doesn't, and AFAIK has never had either.)

Tried to find it in the basic parts book. It does not show it either.

Do you have holes on the side of your truck from the mak armor?

That’s one of the brackets for the MAK underbody armor

Yes, the pictures show holes below the A pillar and missing tailgate. The truck was armored at some point.

Thanks. That's what I was hoping for and not something vital that I missed during bidding.
