On a '71 Challenger, there's two potential anchor points for the spare tire hold-down rod.... Sooooo, did I get it correct? Maybe the upper one, since there's less room, is for a 'Cuda spare-saver spare? 7631376-DSC08977.JPG (47 downloads) Troy Houston Mopar Connection Club '69 Charger Daytona 440 - auto - 4.10 Dana (now with 426 hemi) '69 Charger 500 440 - 4speed - 3.54 Dana '70 Road Runner 383 - 4speed - a/c (now with 440)

Ok guys... Well, the diagrams don't show the version Hoss' has for his Challenger. It is definitely the bottom rod in the pictures provided by Frank. So, does that mean it goes in the lower position for a regular/non-spare saver spare? The trunk decal isn't on the decklid. It was removed a long time ago. I'll add it later. Not sure if the car came with 14"s or 15"s. But, regardless, he's going with 15" aftermarkets, probably Crager SS/Ts....... Thanks again all..... T Last edited by hemi68charger; 03/19/13 09:04 AM.
