Go right to the source AMD, they have a vast array of floor gussets/brackets, frame members, brackets, torque brackets, etc, inside, outside and under the car,...also some members here are dist. for the AMD line,...I'm sure they'll chime in

Speaking of torque boxes. Are they welded to the front, just inside of the frame rails? Or at all four corners, inside the frame rails? Also, I looked at AMD site and didnt see them. Its for a 71 Roadrunner.

got mine from Auto Rust Technicians ('72 RR), but I believe they have them for 68-70s, also. Fit was pretty good, needed a little tweaking, but all-in-all good. Don't know about the fidelity to the originals, though.

No, outside frame rails, but inside rocker panel seams. This pic is of the left rear torque box on my '72 RR. It is looking rearward on the driver's side of the car along the seam of the rocker panel and floor panel. The holes at the top are to make it easier to get to the top two nuts on the leaf spring hanger.

I got factory looking torque boxes for my Charger from Domingo on here. I guess they are not as thick but look better in my opinion, although more pricey if I remember correctly.

Mine came from auto rust, pretty heavy, decent fit, took a little work and some mods to make them fit with frame connectors.
