Factory tie-down brackets ...

i use the ones on my 71 all the time tying it down in the trailer.

 

I used the ones on my '72 to hook a chain to, to drag my friend's '89 Toyota Carolla about 6 miles back to his house when it broke down!

We got it running again (bad coil) and he sold the car for $75! I probably should have bought it...

 

now thats just stupid... thats like some guy at the shelby meet trying to sell me some stock 15 inch steelies just becuase they had the right PN# number for 100 each!

one thing i learned on this post is i didn't know that big bumber cars didn't have them.. guess i have to go home and look

either way that 2 less pounds on my car...

 

Funny, I remember the brackets on my car but I dont remember the vertical bolt.

 

Okay Jamie, now we all know where there is a parts car. Now all we need to do is FIND IT.

 

You may find it, but good luck getting around Brutus and Buster alive. They are nice dogs, really.

 

I suppose they weren't really made to fit with aftermarket dual exhaust ... if they clang or rattle when I get the engine running tomorrow I'll have to remove them.

 

They look real good, Dan...

 

I like em. Is that the original gas tank or did you change it to fit the duals.

 

That is the original tank. The local radiator shop hot tanked and sealed it and I painted it with Eastwood Gas Tank paint. Obviously it's a tight fit for the exhaust on the driver side ....

 

I had that problem when I swapped the dual exaust from my '74 onto my '72. A little hammering took care of it on mine, but obviously you wouldn't do that to a show car.

 

Your tank has a drain plug, mine doesn't. I didn't realize there were 2 kinds.

 

Ya, I wondered if that was the case.
