Actually that Z-Bar has had to have its ears rewelded on. Around 350,000 miles. Broke off in traffic on a rush hour morning. Broke off with the stick in 2nd gear. Had to muscle it into neutral. Killed a day of work.

Same thing happened on the '71 GMC Jimmy's Z-Bar, but we thought that was because its ears were ''joggled'' extensively to play with headers.
