RE: [T3] Front end bushings and bearing

This does, I *thought* the welded ones were on the 65 and earlier, as my 65
has them.  There were differences in the early beams then too, at some point
before 65 the upper grease fittings were OUTSIDE the beam clamps on the
inner part of the beam.

I know the 66 front beam on my son's car has bolt on retainers. Does this 
help?
