So in poking around my engine bay and comparing against a buddy's 80 I noticed two bolts and a ground wire attaching to the firewall holding up the heater control valve and hoses at the back of the engine bay. Mine are missing completely only the central bolts are in place. In the attached picture (not my truck) you can see two bolts circled in blue are present, however the two bolts circled in yellow are missing. Also there is a shrouded ground wire on the left bolt that is also missing! I have had no luck tracking down part numbers to order these bolts and wire, can anyone help with IDing part numbers for these? Thank you

Bob, they are just bolts and a ground wire. Pull one of the bolts that you do have, and use it to buy a couple more that match. You can get them at home depot and don't have to worry about the quality since they are not structural. You can copy the ground wire and crimp the ends on yourself. If you need help, let me know, I probably have the bolts around and we can make up a ground wire pretty quickly.
This will cost you one cold beer. I am in Temple City. If you want help, send me a personal message and I will set up a time for you to do it with help from me here. If your car is functioning without them, we can hardly go wrong. I have a couple Cruisers here we can copy the ground wire from. Ground wires run from ground to ground so with a minimum of head scratching figure out how to run it. If I have the ground wire it will cost you a second cold beer.
