I get that the un-circled brackets are probably the front sway bar parts that my (missing) U clamps and rubber bushings will bolt to, but what are the two L brackets? The previous owner of my 70 RT tied them together in a box with a piece of wire if that's any hint. I'm not having much luck thumbing through my 70 service manual for good details on the front sway bar so any help is appreciated.

I think those are rear bumper supports.
They go from frame rail to vertical supports.

Meanwhile, If anyone has a good photo of the front suspension on a restored, clean and assembled car, I'd love to see it. Front suspension is a very weak area for me and I bought this car already disassembled.

That would make more sense. I'll refer to the bumper hardware of my 70 factory manual. Thank you.

Even correctly date coded. Whooda thunkit? Didn't notice that until I banded them together to file away for reassembly days.
