today i was officially demoted from using the dining room table as a work bench

Luckily the wifey was kind enough to set up a see-saw table for me to use against the wall

The rest of the bits are stored in the basement

 

[destin]

where can i find the body grommet attachments that go between the bottom of the rear sill and the bumper frame?

 

[destin]

can any one post a stock ashtray photo for my year rig?

Mine was rusty and missing the face plate, so i do not know what it was supposed to look like.

Thanks

Destin

dont know if its the same as 1969 but...here's the 1969 # for ash tray

74110 RECEPTACLE ASSY, INSTRUMENT PANEL ASH
74110-60010 FJ4*, BJ40

also here's the body mounts ..those should be the same AFAIK

 

[destin]

cool thanks guys

Looks like the ashtrays on your link wesintl look like the ones i have seen around, just wanted to be sure

Maybe my body mount kit came with them, the ones that were on it for the rear silll were round, but looks like if they are square they may be in my kit after all

Thanks guys
