I forgot to ask. Are the blobs for the Cruise control mounts supposed to be square at the bottom or round on one and round with a flat section on one such as what I have seen?

Thanks

There aren't special fender braces on a 68 W30. (at least not that I've ever heard of)

The front lower braces off the core support are the ones I was referring to.


I know 68's didn't have the big block braces the 70-72's had

Ok now it makes sence.I wasnt even thinking about the lower front fender braces.Yes the wcars had a brace with No rubber only the tubular brace to clear the scoops. The non rubber brace moved toward the outside and used a different hole to mnt on the core support.
