Please share where it bolts?
I also need this info.

Pics would be great, My assembly manual isn't easy to follow?

72soft-top,
Check out mr70's web page on his '70 L-78. Scan down for a great picture of one of the more common locations for them. They would be similar for '72's.

Elcaminos are special!
I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford

Thanks guys.
That's where I was going to put them. (finally figured out the reference point in the '72 ass'y manual)

The pic shows exactly what I needed

hood pins didn't come on a 69 300 deluxe; did they? i like the way the cables give the car ANOTHER mean look. thanks
