What dimensions are shown on this sketch?

Two dimensions: 7 inches from the "End of Threads" to the centerline of the eye/joint end, and 3 1/2 inches measured vertically from that centerline down to a baseline.

What does the sketch depict?

A rod or linkage arm with a threaded section (cross-hatched) leading to a round eye or joint end, drawn on cardboard with dimension lines.

What is the washer in the photo for?

A flat washer is placed on the cardboard above the eye of the drawing, apparently serving as a physical size reference; the sketch itself does not label it.

Does the document list any part numbers or vehicle applications?

No. The only visible text is "7" End of Threads" and "3 1/2"; there are no part numbers, dates, or vehicle identifications.

This is a hand-drawn, dimensioned sketch (a rough blueprint/template) made in marker on a piece of corrugated cardboard, uploaded to the gallery of a 1996 Ford Bronco under the filename SAS 075.jpg. The drawing depicts a linkage arm or rod — likely a steering linkage or track-bar style component associated with a solid axle swap (SAS) project — consisting of a threaded shank (shown with cross-hatching to indicate threads) that transitions into a rounded eye or joint end. Two dimensions are recorded: 7 inches measured from the "End of Threads" to the centerline of the eye, and 3 1/2 inches measured vertically from the eye centerline down to a reference baseline. An actual flat steel washer is laid on the cardboard near the eye, apparently as a physical size reference for the hole or joint bore. There are no part numbers, vehicle model statements, dates, or other text on the document. A reader can learn the intended layout geometry (7" thread-end-to-eye distance and 3 1/2" vertical offset) the fabricator planned for this custom part.
