All '80-96 Broncos have a steel roll bar integrated into the rear edge of the fiberglass camper shell ('92-96 F4TB9850200A??). In '92, the bar was improved & extended forward so it could be retained by 2 of the bolts, and the alignment pins were moved onto the bar, pointing down into the bedrails.

The bolt & clip shown are INCORRECT for this shell: 1) '92-96 Broncos don't use a clip on this bolt because of their C-pillar trim; 2) '92-96 clips are punched with a wide slot for a plastic trim-colored pushpin instead of the earlier self-drilling self-tapping oval-head screw with captive washer; 3) '92-96 bolts have a tamper T-40 head to discourage removal of the shell due to the rear shoulder belts & CHMSL. But since this shell is installed on an '82 body tub at the moment, it requires this bolt.
