insdie the floor pan shoud be a bracket welded to the body that give
extra support for the radius arm mount. they would be located behind
the seats, in front of the rear deck. i don't know how you might be
able to make something up to match what was originally used, but
spitbits lists them on thier website.
(spit IV & 1500 -> body bits -> floors & rockers -> item #13)
