The washers under the rivet nuts were the tooth lock variety, so I would guess that they were zinc coated, but I do not know that for sure.

If I remember right, the earlier 1970 cars had a deck lid that only had the provisions for the luggage rack.

Then, once the rear spoiler became an option, another decklid was added to the mix.

Once the T/As came into prduction with the ducktail spoiler, they had a deck lid with provisions for all three options.

Every 1971 deck lid I have seen is the same so far, has  provisions for all three.

It changed again for 72, not sure after that...............

Hopefully someone here has photos of all the 1970 types?  :dunno:

Hey Roy,


That is the correct washer buddy.  The oval shape of the luggage rack foot covers over the diamond shape on the washer, straight on................... you got it :2thumbs: rubber pad under the washer. :clapping:

The  only thing missing is one of these washer and rubber gasket and maybe a couple screws also I have to add something in two or three of the pole ends to receive the screws that's about it I think and hope!! Any suggestions on what to use in the pole ends??I was thinking maybe to cement some predrilled hard plastic nylon plugs?what do you think?The chrome is really nice can't what to see it on the car instead of that cheap after market go wing I have on there now!!

Someone may have the attaching nuts that are more like the ones Chrysler used.
