Found MkI carrier

[Ralph Volkert]

THANKS TO ALL!

Folks here are a big help and supportive. (I may need that once the wife sees the bills!!!)

I thought parts for my 74 roadrunner were pricey. There is a stick shift knob for a carrier on ebay that is at $70 now. Are they really that rare? Or are people getting carried away?

I saw my baby this week. (will try posting pics later today) A Couple of questions come to mind.

1) the large bin(crew?) you see mounted on the back of the hull, in all the pictures I have seen...On this carrier it is mounted on the inside of the rear of the hull on the drivers side. This appears to be the original position. Has any one seen this before? Would this be a specific application or just a field mod.

On the outside center of the rear of the hull is a mark of where a very small bin(?) was once attached. It appears to be the size of a bin I have seen mounted on top of the large bin when that is mounted on the outside.

2) On the front of the hull, on the front of the hull, in front of the gunner are 2 vertical weld marks (12-18") as if a fitting had been cut off. If this was original what would they have been for? If not original should I grind them down.

Thanks, Ralph
