Those things were from the 70's and 80's. Guys would buy them and sharpen the handle to a point, they damn sure didn't come like that! Made a convenient "shiv" for street thugs! Back when I was a cop we were always on the lookout for those things!
You might check with these guys and see what they can do for you. I've used there products before and was very happy with the results.

I did my swap back when only a few had been done. The only mount adapters available back then were the TTI adaptors so that is what I used, along with the TTI headers. It was a bolt in deal for me, no mods to the sock K member or transmission cross member and stock trans mount using a TF727. I...
That's correct. It's a fix for harmonic balancers/dampeners that have a groove worn in them from the timing cover seal. I've used a couple of them over the years.
Yup, those were sold back in the day to mount an underdash stereo and be able to quickly remove it from the car when not in use. There is another bracket that bolts to the top of the stereo to interface with that bracket. I had one at one time and it worked quite well.
I worked at a Chevy dealership (no flaming please!) from 1973 to 1976 and even then cruise control was pretty rare so I can't even imagine how rare it was on a 1970 E body!
I don't know about now, but you used to be able to buy a speedometer cable kit that you could put the cable in the housing all the way and then cut it to length and install the other end. I did a couple way back in the day. Anybody else know if those kits are still available?
Not trolling at all, the pics you posted show a leaf spring suspension and the box you posted looks just like the one used to move the leafsprings inward on E bodies. Your original post said nothing at all about an RMS 4 LINK kit! The more info you provide, the more useful info you will get back...
Or, if you intend to drag race it just leave the smaller bars in it. Old drag racer's trick! The Direct Connection chassis manual stated that the smaller bars stored more energy due to being adjusted tighter for the heavier weight. On launch, this helped push the front end up higher...
Well, to start with what you're working on is a leaf spring suspension, not a 4 link! They are two totally different types of suspension with nothing in common.
I got mine from Classic Auto Carpet and paid the extra for the mass backing, which is a kind of heavy rubber backing that is bonded to the backside of the carpet. It was definitely worth the extra cost! The carpet laid down great and looks really good and the mass backing helps a lot with the...
I did pretty much the same thing in 1987. A friend of mine had a 68 Hemi Coronet, complete numbers matching car with the engine out and disassembled. He thought it had a cracked head or something, and wanted $5000 for it. I passed on it because I didn't want to deal with the engine issues and...
Congratulations! I can't say as I'm all that surprised though, from the time you posted the first pictures of your finished car I have felt it looked amazing! The blacked out chrome 'european' look isn't for everybody but I love it. :thumbsup:
