I agree Blocker was just thinking the same to myself wondering what the cost difference would have been to order a base model with all the option rarther than a straight out sandman, you would think that it would have been quite possible for it to work out cheaper with a sandman. It just doesnt seem to make sense for a guy to walk in and order a 308, 4 speed V8 with with all the extras and not be tempted to go for the standard sandman. Not sure if you can tell by the photos by there still some of the actual teeth from the bracket still attached and also some of the spot weld marks. I found a picture last night I think it was the Monaroparts wwebsite or similair?? and it had a photo of the bracket attached and fully exposed. I am convinced that the remains are in fact a hood lining bracket but that doesnt prove it is the real deal obviously. I am presently trying to back track through the previous owners but wont hold to much hope on that one.
