MC-71 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I bought these years ago. So far it’s a mystery how to install them. Does anyone have a picture or maybe assembly pg number. I have both 70 and 71 books. Check out the pictures I included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 They look like the reinforcements used on the rear. In the '71 assembly manual, go to section 2 - FRAME, and page 2B-1 (item #7 will be your parts). They attach at the bolts for the upper & lower control arms. I'll get you a couple pics in a bit, as my car is already on the lift. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I parked it there because I need to do a little rewiring for the new type distributor I'm installing. Just in case I needed to access the harness from below, figured it was a good idea to think ahead. I'm half way thru it, but got side tracked cutting down trees the last few days. There's about 6 of them that are dead, and directly in the path of the new building if they fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 In the '72 Assembly manual, it also shows them if you got the LS3- 402 engine. EDIT:I found better pics from when I took the car apart & removed the current pics. The slotted hole in the reinforcement arm, will go to the front lower control arm mount. 1971 Assembly manual: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Sorry, late to the game but all 70-72 montes had them. Only big block Chevelle's and small block Chevelle's 70-72 with the f-41 suspension had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
