When you install a dual carb manifold, the fender stay/support rod on that side of the truck is no longer useable because the rod would now go right through the rear carb. A lot of people just remove the rod and drive the truck without it.

A better solution is to modify the rod with a horseshoe to either go up and over or around the side of the rear carb, so that the left fender rod can still do its job.

I used an old disc brake- I plasma cut the center and one edge out of it, welded it onto the fender rod, then cut the fender rod between the welds that I made, and had a pretty sturdy modified rod after that.
