Thaiyoon Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Hey guys, I took off a rusted and bent bed off my 1970 521 project and have a new bed to put on. I put most of my parts in marked baggies and in 5 gallon buckets but have a couple of items that came off the original bed that I'm not sure where they go back on. Can you help me out? Below is a picture I took with a number beside each part. 3 and 4 are exactly the same. Thanks for any guidance you can offer. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 I put mine up on stands last night and plan to be out there rolling around under it later today. I'll see if there is anything I can find. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Number 2 looks like a muffler or pip hanger. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 You can download the factory parts manual here.... http://www.bluehandsvideo.com/manuals.html The exploded parts diagrams may help show where they go. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thaiyoon Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 Thanks for the parts references. I think part #2 in my photo is part # 20 in this diagram from the manual. So its an exhaust support of some kind. I don't have part # 22 in my baggies so maybe part #1 in my photo mirrors with part # 2 to serve the same purpose? Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I did do some looking but was unable to identify anything. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I looked st the gas tank mounting, bed mounting and that evaporative fume tank on the driver's side wheel well.... nothing. well nothing I saw. I noticed the #1 has a rubber gasket for vibration isolation.... Quote Link to comment
Thaiyoon Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Thanks KELMO and Datzenmike. I had no exhaust beyond the cab so its all fair game back there. Hopefully these pieces will fit in that mix. I'll try to bring it back as close to stock as I can. Was original exhaust end out the back or behind the pax side rear wheel? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Supposedly out the back. Mine is behind the wheel but it's probably not stock anymore Pretty sure my 69 was out the back Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 (edited) 3 and 4 are speaker brackets. They are mounted backwards in this pic for storage. Edited April 20 by dat521gatherer 2 Quote Link to comment

Sad part was i threw them away. Quote Link to comment
