This tins were inside my bus when I purchased. They look like the bottom left and right tins. Can anyone confirm? Do they go over the push rod tubes? There is some other small tins between the rods and the jugs but they are smaller.

Thank you.

Those are #3 & #5 in the diagram, sled tins for a 72-74 bus.

They go between the pushrod tubes and the road.

And they are often erroneously discarded, like the middle seat and the rear bumper (1972 and earlier)

Save those / install them but whatever you do, don’t discard them.

I should feel fortunate then, my bus came mostly completed. I have all 3 of those.
