torque boxes

sixystyle · 12-05-2005, 03:56 PM

Can someone tell me if my car has torque boxes? It is a 71 fastback. I have heard alot about them but dont know enough about body repair to say I have them and they are ok. Someone told me that fastbacks didn't have them?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

HMMM, they list a fastback as having them in 71 so I guess they must be there. I just wasn't sure, this is where the upper cont. arm hooks at the rear right? Man I hope the heck mine are ok, they're spendy! I did read about welding them up all around instead of just having tack welds. (Crossing my fingers since everything else is rusty)

Thanks alot
