frame rail gusset

[Fst Blk]

What's the consensus on these? I like the thoughts of strengthening the structure, but at what point is too much?

if you decide to any of that, don't buy anything. I have enough steel cutoffs here to "gusset" a racecar...

:thum I just wonder at what point you are just adding weight without really adding any noticeable rigidity?

I don't think I have ever seen a car with those...

why would Ford waste their time designing, making and welding it onto the cars if it wasn't worth something?

 

[mustangstofear]

We install them on every car. I just started making them because Dynacorn only sells them with the 69-70 torque. I wonder where CJ gets there's ?

Does your car have them? From my research they weren't put on every car. Some cars has one on the drivers side. Convertibles didn't get them at all :dun

Per CJ's ad it came stock on all 68-70 cars, driver's side, connecting torque box with frame rail. I don't remember seeing it on Shag so now I gotta look.

Exactly what I was looking for. Nice to see a visual.

My car has them on both sides. Great for collecting dirt and debris.

 

[cmayna]

Oh the dirt collector! Yup, I have them on both sides as well. Yes, it wouldn't hurt to install them if you don't have em.

 

[gtscode]

The dynacorn 67-68 bodies have them installed. I don't see how it could hurt.

is that original? it doesn't quite look factory.

 

[tarafied1]

My 67 only had one torque box. I added the other one but didn't know about these. I'll have to add them to the 65 which has no torque boxes!

Really? Yes, very original.

I guess ford changed the design at some point. Thanks.
