What's this frame bracket for?

Hello all,

1971 305/th350 shortbed.

This bracket mounts on the drivers side frame rail about half way betweem the tranny and trailing arm crossmembers.

What's it for?

Thanks,
Keith

Question Re: What's this frame bracket for?

Maybe for the emergency brake cable hanger.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: What's this frame bracket for?

Not for the e-brake.
Both sides were held with wire hooks right through the frame.
I was thinking exhaust, but didn't know which side the original ran down.
Truck had headers and duals when I got it, and this bracket was unused.
I'm sandblasting a bunch of small parts, and didn't want to pitch this without knowing its purpose.

Re: What's this frame bracket for?

Here's a pic of the one on the frame of my 69 -exhaust hanger.
Does it look like yours?

Re: What's this frame bracket for?

That picture is exactly it. So exhaust it is.
I did notice on your '69 the rivets are in front of the bracket, and on my '71 they are behind.
Thanks guys.

Looks to me like your rivets would be in front also. You are holding the hanger upside down in your 1st picture.
