Need pics of square coolant overflow bottle + bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey there, Has anyone got pics of these items off a 1973 or later p/u?

My 72 has what i think are these, which were obviously afterfitted, but it works great.

Only thing is the bottle is cracked and I want to confirm it is the proper one before reordering.
Also, I could use a square bottle bracket, as mine is almost rusted out.

Anyone got a spare they want to consider parting with?

Thanks in advance

There were two styles. Show us a picture and we'll tell you what it goes on.

Thanks. I should have shot a pic last night, but I am at work now. the bottle has a square shape and a slightly diagonal slanted bottom.

Really not many other features to it shape wise.

It was afterfitted in my 72, but I know it was from a 73-87 and I was wondering where I could get a bracket for it as well.

I found a pic of what I have, but It was intended for a different post.

Anyway, here is the coolant overflow bottle I am trying to replace.

I need a bracket too.

Thanks

That is different from the bottle on my '86, if that helps any...

Thanks, Here is a bottle found in Classic industries website (catalog).

It looks the same but I need to find the bracket to hang the thing, since mine was lost. C.I. catalog does not list a bracket, so I need to find one still.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
