Talk to your welding shop about making something up for you.

I assume you are talking about a super 88, don't think the Fleetlines had holes drilled in frame. What kind of weights? Bracket for 00 or 50 series should match the holes. Chris

thanks super 99...yes she is a super 88.
Looking for something to hang some suitcase weights on...my club has a 12 inch rule...my current setup hangs a bit low at 12 inches so it does not work well...if it was up a couple inches higher it would be better...given my limited welding resources and ability I figure it is better to buy than build

Look in the photo-parts and pieces. I'll try to download a pic of mine from my 77. It's aluminum, and will hold, bounce 400 lbs. easily. It could be made from steel if you can't weld aluminum. Just an idea.........

Having trouble with the pic.....Will take another pic and try later........

Where do you live if you cant find a welding shop? Sorry, I cant believe that.

Not familiar with pulling or 12" rule. Is the bracket you have large enough that you could drill new holes to make the height you want? Where are you at? If you are pulling, is there another puller in your area that could weld up a new bracket for you? How about a picture, might help us come up with some ideas. Have a safe and Happy New Year.
