The Ford Barn

This was in my uncle's car. Just trying to determine if these are something I need to hang on to?

The set of rubber bumpers say 106 on them the rubber gasket says 515 on it. The screw that screws into the other sleeve has a slotted head on either end.

Any of this look familiar? Or was this just his junk can?

First pic with the strap is non Ford. The rubber parts are door bumpers. The cast parts go in the door alignment dovetails. The tube nut goes in the door frame. The rubber pad looks to be for the headlight bar. Can't tell the rest.

Jim,

That in the photo on the left is junk. In the photo on the right, hang on to the four rubber door bumpers on the left side, the sleeve nut and screw in the center, and the pin in the lower center.

Like all reproductions of the door bumpers shown in your photo, these are oversized and very likely will require trimming to reduce the outside face down to the point where they contact the door, but do not result in the door sticking out away from the adjoining quarter panel on your car. In the extreme left untrimmed, they would prevent the door from properly latching. That said, no one reproduces the non-oversized version so these are what we have to work with in the way of reproductions.

The rubber gasket in the upper center is junk only to the extent that the original outside door handle gaskets on your car were made from waterproof paper; notwithstanding some people use rubber ones like that in your photo.

I can't make out what that is to the right and above the rubber gasket.

As for the four die cast pieces on the right of the photo, they're inserts for female door dovetails which could be useful if yours are worn, which is highly likely (and if the ones shown actually fit into your female dovetail stamping).
