Rear Frame Crossmembers Brackets

[MC-71]

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.

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.

Why would your car be up on a lift, you HATE working on cars

Absolutely!

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.

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.

Thanks again. As always you have the answer. I appreciate that. Will I feel a change if I install them. I would think so. Thanks

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.
