Yeah they were used mainly on stationwagons to keep rear window dry in wet weather I had a set on my 70 wagon. John

Ok,

you learn something new everyday, aftermarket I assume

actually.........they were marketed to keep dust from settling on the rear window when driving on dirt roads.

yah, they came as part of the "UGLY" package... it's more rare than the CST and Cheyenne combined.

yep, that's what I knew them as also.

In the description, the guys says "all stock"

Never thought headers were stock.

I still have a pair of those things in my junk locker. Pulled 'em off my Dad's '64 Olds wagon after I blew it up [siezed and cracked the block] trying to leadfoot thru Yuma on a summer day when the idiot light went on. Also pulled the inside rearview mirror bracket -- which 20 years later I was able to retrofit into a newly acquired '67 Sub (PO had a parts store copy of the '72-later type). I thought of putting the wind wings things on my '71 Jimmy, but I never have. They'd only get caught on some low-hanging mesquite branches and rip out big chunks of the fiberglass top.
