AI caption · Photo 327 of 434

This document is a simple hand-drawn design sketch (blueprint-style) uploaded as "sliders.jpg" to a 1979 Ford Bronco gallery on SuperMotors.net. It shows six numbered profile variations (1 through 6) of what appear to be tubular rock slider or rocker-guard designs, drawn as side-by-side vertical outlines. Each variation shows a different tube bend/offset profile: some have a smooth straight run with a bulge or kick-out near one end (designs 1–4), design 5 shows a ladder-style structure with multiple crossmember-like rungs, and design 6 shows a straight tube with rectangular gussets or mounting plates. The only dimensions given are on design 5: an overall length of 46 inches and a 4-inch dimension at the lower end (apparently the offset or leg spacing). Red reference lines run vertically alongside designs 1, 5, and 6, likely indicating a datum or body line. There are no part numbers, materials, wire colors, or written notes—readers can learn only the general shapes being compared and the 46" and 4" dimensions for option 5. It appears to be a concept-comparison sketch for fabricating custom rock sliders for the owner's Bronco.
