If it is a bracket for a spring, measure the distance between spring ends, then remove the bracket. After you shorten your frame, if you find you can't live without the bracket, drill some holes and remount it to your frame. If you don't need it, you now have a cleaner looking frame! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | I would guess it has something to do with the park brake cable.

My 65 has it too and that is what the 44,000 mi original truck had attached to it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 | It looks like where the clutch spring ataches.Is it at the front or back? | | |
