[A/S] Does anyone have an original equip Awning from 1969?



I just picked up the rest of the original awning that goes on my 
1969 Overlander International from the original owner but I  can't 
figure out what all the pieces are and how it goes on. I'm 
hoping  some of you can give me a clue. The awning was taken off a 
few years ago and didn't go with the couch when he sold it to the 
guy I bought it from. Sorry if that is confusing. Anyway I've got 
the awning and all of these different poles:

I know which ones clamp on the ends and hook it to the bottom 
holders (only because he still had those and one was on the end of 
the awning). Here's what else I  have:

2 that look like they have long scew type ends with a spring in them

1 that only has a clamp end and is similar to the end poles but it 
doesn't have a thmb screw tightener on it

1 that is flat on one end and 2 that are very similar but they are 
kind of L shaped instead of totally flat like they fit into a lip or 
something.

1 has a ratchet type lever on it

lastly there are 2 more that I believe bolt onto the big screw 
anchors (except I have 3 anchors) that go in the ground.

And what keeps it from rolling back up? The weight of the end poles?

Please help! I need to get it figured out and installed before the 
Gestapo gets after me for having something more than a  chair and 
cooler outside! LOL

Thanks for any help - off list you can write me at
