Any one have a single truss support rod for this car or attachment bracket s. Trying to come up with something that I can use. Now I just have single rod but no brackets. Crossbrace I think it's called
If you’re talking about the “X” rods that’s in front of the radiator; they’re only on the GS model( unless I’m mistaken)
Not sure if the 69 is the same. I use these on my 70 Stage 1. This is the extra set made incase anyone else needed them. https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/70-71-core-support-cross-bars.357677/
I've seen some original 69s that didnt have them. Idk if they were on hardtop cars but they were on convertibles.
I have a pair if you need any measurements. They're not for sale. I'm still curious as if they came on 68 69 GS hart top cars. Maybe Brad can chime in on if the 69 Motion car had them. I've parted out several 68 69 GS hardtops and none of them had the rods, all the 68 69 skylark convertibles I've parted out did have them.
Thanks lets have the measures. The little brackets that attach to frame horns? Have you one to spare?
I have homemade brackets modified from pair bought from Menards. Along with 3/8 rod heated and beated+ will show pics later.
After I bent homemade rod my co-worker tweaked it again plus flattened the ends after beating+ heating. I assumed the rods were different.Consequently the rods intersect+ a lot of tension on them.Like spokes on a wheel
There is a 68 or 69 GS 400 that was wrecked on front in woods at my local eternal salvage yard. Next time I'm there I'll give it a look-see. Several other 68 & 69 skylarks as well. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6559832,-79.5117918,1492m/data=!3m1!1e3 What's your location? (Update your profile!)

Hammond ind. Between Chicago and gary.. If you dig parts up put my name on them. Next project is disc brake upgrade. So far only have spindles complete. In fact I have been advised to add disc M/C to drum brake car in advance of swap. I am looking for proportion valve+ hold off valve. Good luck
Talking about updating....My 10 year old phone has been called obsolete. Can't access forum on phone now but at tablet/ Wi-Fi .My antique bike forum has called my 3G network painfully slow. I however continue to tread on. Thanks again
Well, I didn't even get a cell phone until less than 10 years ago. Access? HA HA HA! I'm still on the flip phone... I don't need ANY more distractions...
