Picture of OEM bracket for coolant overflow?
 

1971 Chevy

I believe the original(s) mounts to the core support. I've seen two bracket types that are claimed original. On one bracket, the belt holding the bottle slopes downward. The other bracket is square with the bottle.

I'm certain the one that slopes downward is original, but haven't seen the back portion that mounts to the core support. Anyone have a picture? Feel free to post the square one as well.

Rare like hen's teeth?

I tried taking a pic of my bracket, but because it's mounted I can't get a good picture. Are you looking for the angled bottom bracket piece that mimics the bottom angle of the bottle?

Thanks for trying Demi. For the most part, I'd like to see the backside, i.e., the portion in contact with the core support. Especially the one shown in this thread. post 10 and 20. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=546610

"still" curious.

There's a bottle or just a bracket for a hose?

My '72 Corvette is original (except paint) and there is no overflow bottle.

Bottle and bracket. Most of these came without a bottle. From what I can make out, Government vehicles came with, right down to the SPID. The few others that had them were a GM part, dealer added.

Not aware of just a hose bracket, but I suppose there would be. There is a hose bracket for the bottle and bracket. It mounts to the core support under the shroud.

This is the one I'm running on mine currently. I'll try to get a better pic of the backside of the bracket.

I think I have an original bottle and bracket on my shelf if you looking for one.

Re: Picture of OEM bracket for coolant overflow?
 

If the bottle is like new and the metal good, definitely.

Re: Picture of OEM bracket for coolant overflow?
 

Demi, is your bracket square with the bottle?

By chance does the back of your bracket like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-15996772-...-/111677506557

Or like the one here, post 14? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=546610

The bottom of the bracket is angled. The one on ebay looks square to the bottle. or maybe I'm just looking at it weird. I hope this helps. My coolant hose is too snug too lift the bottle out of the bracket so I could get a better look.

The bottom bracket is very easy to bend up or down by hand.

Well, I've seen two claimed originals. One, the bracket is square with the bottle. the other, the bracket is angled. Important to note there are those that came with the truck, others a GM part dealer installed. The bracket with the angle is said to be dealer installed.

Looking at parts books, I'd expect to find the reservoir under category 1.240. There's no mention of a reservoir for these older trucks. Just a hose and clip.............Under 1.240 for a 1991 model, for example, "RESERVOIR, COOL RCVY" is included.

Thanks for checking Demi. Wouldn't want you to scratch the bottle anyway.
