My center support is missing the gas tank brackets/locators that are supposed to be spot welded on to it, they were cut off by a previous owner. Anyone have an old support that has the brackets on it? I know I can buy a new support but rather not spend $200+ for just the brackets I need. They are the two small ones on the support that are flat except for the bump up /\ . Shipping to 03825

Originally on the 70 B-body, they positioned 2 rubber blocks that were held
in place by factory screws, attaching them too the gas tank crossmember.
IMO, there should not be an issue using the 68-69 B-bodies locating tabs,
as long as you make certain you get them in the correct spots, or as close
as possible for good fitment, and to make sure your gas filler is centered.

I removed rubber blocks with screws from the small holes, you are saying those are correct for '70 and there are no locating tabs spot welded on the support?

Correct. Like I said, in my last post if you want to use the locater
tabs during the 68-9 years, that would work too. It's really up to
you what you want. I can check in our shop, and see if we may
have some good locating tabs.

I wasn`t sure as I didn`t see any signs of old spot welds being cut, I want it correct as possible so I`ll just use the rubber blocks.
