What am I missing here?

yes that's where they go, they bolt to the fenders, i think only the 72's had them 73? 74 up don't the fender should have a u-nut there that the bolt goes into

Might be the plastic fender filler shield panel.

are you using your fenders? or different ones?(IDK if 73 fenders have that bolt or not???)

Its permanent, don't remember if welded or part of the stamping.

I have to get to the garage and double check the fenders but I don't recollect seeing anything on the fender sticking out to meet that bracket. 

I made it to the garage today but had to run back because I forgot to take the pictures. I left these larger for detail.

This first picture is of the left upper A pillar with door open to show where on the pillar the "L" shaped bracket from my first post bolts onto.




The second picture is from the fender well (no liner in place and shows where the "L" bracket mounts and two threaded insert on the fender where I assume there is a bolted brace or bracket. It's been 11 years so I don't remember what they'd look like to even know if I have them or ever had them.



This third picture is the inside of the right fender showing the two threaded inserts for this mythical bracket.

I'd love to see a picture of the inside of your fenders! I have the brackets for the A pillars but my fenders don't have any tabs on them to bolt to these brackets, just threaded inserts.

I'll take some this afternoon and post them for you.

Anyone have any of these brackets for the 72's ?

Maybe Joe Lombardo has a few spares on his stash of fenders??

I will look tomorrow. Sending you a PM.

Thanks Joe! Let me know what you need and I'll get it out to you.
