Hi,

The first two pics appear to be the remains of a drive shaft center support. Take a look at pic 1. I found a pic of a new one. The part would have had a rubber mount in it and a bearing and be mounted to the body of the truck and the center of the rear drive shaft would have gone through it.

The last pics appear to be a skid plate. That one could go under the engine oil pan, transmission, transfer case, differential, and even the fuel tank. I can't pinpoint it because I don't know how big it really is. However, the large oval on it indicates it was likely a place to drain oil or fluid. I honestly feel it is to protect the transfer case. I attached a pic showing the transfer case skid plate. I feel this is the same as what you have.

Let me know.

Joe

I was told by a friend the first picture is a dust cover, he thinks it goes over the drive shaft that goes to the transfer case.

Hi,

Your friend is correct. It is a dust cover right where the driveshaft goes into the transfer case.

If you look at pic 1 below, that is the best pic I could find of how it mounts to the transfer case. Pic 2 shows the part (there are two parts) and their part numbers.

Let me know if this helps.

Joe
