Default torque boxes... on a 66?

how worth it are they? from what ive heard, they didnt come stock? would it be a good time to install them? were replacing the frame rails and everything too...

can someone give me a failry detailed procedure as to to how to install them?

I have them on both sides of my fastback for extra strength. They are easy to add once your frame rail is in.

were they on either side on the FB's? do you have any pics of the install? they seem cheap enough, to go along with connectors
