Did all 67" Fastbacks come with right and lefthand torque boxes? For some reason mine only has the LH and it dosn't look like there was ever one there.

Is there a big hole instead of the torque box?

No just the frame. It dosn't look like it has ever had any major damage to the car.

Are you saying the frame rail goes forward past where the front of the leaf spring mounts?

No. I belive the torque box is in the front. Or should be?

I know in the 67 Cougars they only had one torgue box, It was on the driver side.

Interesting point on the Cougars, I did not realize that.

Can you get us any pictures of the problem (?) area?

For the coupes/FB's:
65/66 cars had no torque boxes.
67 cars had driver's side only.
68-up had both sides.

You CAN add a torque box to the passenger side if you wish, but there was not one the "originally".
