Here is a set of radiator hold downs that I got from a truck with AC. Can't remember if they came from a 71 or 72. Can get measurements too if needed. Need paint, rubber seems OK.
$20 shipped.
I will take Paypal or money order.
Please respond here so I know who responds first.

Thanks

I don't know if there is a difference in the hold downs - I just wanted to be specific as to what they came from.
The truck that the shroud came from had a fan with a clutch, which pushed it closer to the radiator so the shroud isn't as deep. I thought that all AC trucks had that fan, but I sure could be mistaken. I know that my 71 without AC has a deeper shroud, it extends closer to the engine.
Anyone else know about this?
