good question Jim , let me do some checking .
If they are does that mean you have a set ?

Jim , from what I'm seeing the 64 and 65 are the same but i,m not sure about 66 .
maybe someone else can help us out on this  :dontknow:

Cross braces are different all three years! 64's are straight
These were used in early 65 on downflow radiator cars , not
GS's as they are crossflow.65's have a bump out to clear the
Center hood latch brace.66's are straight and short as they
Go to different points on the core support!

Bobby does your spare car have AC?

I seem to recall that AC cars used a brace with a bow at the bottom for condenser clearance.

All the GS cars had the x braces with the bow. Skylarks were straight.

 :BangHead:

Bobbybuick are the threads on the one rod strong enough to hold ?   ( they look a little rotted )
