I have four holes in my trunk under the package tray shelf. In the two holes closest to the rear there is a loop mounted on the underside with two bolts. To the front of the loop there are two more holes with nothing attached, what should be attached there. This is for a 70.

Rear Defog blower?

I didn't say it right, it's the trunk flooring, not the package tray sheet metal.

could you post a pic?

nitros bottle?

stereo amplifier?

The amp would be mounted on bottom of the package ,tray he is saying its on the trunk floor beneath the tray

Had a chance to go to a wrecking yard today. I looked at about 10 different 70 chevelles, not one had my holes. Here are two pics showing inside the trunk and the trunk from the underside.http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/data/500/trunk_holes_inside.jpghttp://www.chevelles.com/showroom/data/500/trunk_holes_underside.jpg

Doesn't look like a factory installation to me.

I bought a 69 that had numerous holes in the bottom of the trunk. Previous owner said that he had a fuel cell in the trunk.

The 2nd picture looks like a hole that was drilled sometime after the coating was put on, doesn't it?

The hole without a bolt has dust from some sanding I did on the underside of the package tray sheet metal. When I rubbed off the dust I found undercoat the same as around that area. Looks like I will need to fill some holes. I'm still curious about the metal loop though.

Maybe it was to tie the bodies down so they didnt slide aroune :))

Didn't some cars come with a metal vapor canister to capture gas fumes as part of the emissions equipment?? I think they had these on full size cars (ex. Impala).

There was something on a chevelle, like a traction dispenser?

I don't think it's original. The loop has 2 sets of holes and a shoddy bend to it. It reminds me of a cheap muffler hanger strap that has been bent. Why, I don't know.

Above the rear tires I believe.
Hard telling why someone drilled those holes.
Man you have 10 70 Chevelles in your salvage yard, you lucky dog you.

Yes Dean, this wrecking yard, All American Classics specializes in older cars. They have a website at allamericanclassics.com. There are tons of Chevy's. Unfortunately most are very rough and none have drive trains. Since I am redoing the trunk my next question is how to fix the holes, any advice would be appreciated.

I would remove all the paint around the hole on both sides and then plug weld and grind smooth. A piece of copper sheet or aluminum taped on the bottom side usually works for me to help when welding the holes up. I am sure other may chime in on this too.

Actually mounted on the top of the inner wheel wells. RPO V75. Have only seen one in the last 25 years.

Kind of curious what the other side of those nuts look like. Just a bolt head or is there straping too?

Greg here is another pic. Not sure if this is what you wanted to see. FYI there is a rubber washer between the bolt and the bracket.

If Chevy had installed that bracket it would have had a caged nut welded to the body and not a loose nut and bolt setup like you see. Installing something like this on the assembly line would have required TWO people, not profitable for Generous Motors!

You have a wrecking yard with ten 1970 Chevelles in it??? Lucky duck!

interesting.

no clue...not even a guess.
