Hey Guys
All this talk about rebuilding the Torsion Bar Boxing at the trans crossmember mount area, i remembered I had these professionally made pattern templates here.
Trying to remember who I got these from.
Think it was the meticulous owners of the '69 Satellite I got ahold of a few years back. The guy did some custom classic car sheet metal fabrications on the side. He built a nice Stainless Steel battery tray for the Satellite to catch the battery acid. These people were extreme fussy with their stuff.

Any how these correct dimension and thickness templates are patterns for the front and rear side of the box section torsion repair.
The front side you just fold 90° at the 2 slots, then that welds to the forward extending box section too, making it really strong.
These could be easily traced on to thin carboard and shipped out to people that could use them. Paying tribute to the skilled mopar man that made them, as he is passed away now.
Interesting what comes up in these discussions . . .
