'73 deck-lid bracket?
« on: April 28, 2013 - 06:23:32 PM »
I'm confused...  I have a '70 go-wing to install and I'm not sure what deck-lid bracket I need.

I have a '73 Cuda... the two styles of brackets I've seen online just don't look right to me.

Ideas?  Thanks

Thank you for the picture of the deck lid.  Do you have a picture of how your's turned out?
Do you know if the other brackets are listed anywhere as '72 brackets?

No spoiler was available after 71 so there should,t be any brackets listed as 72.
