LCA extra steel plate under bumper?

[b5blue]

I bought a set of LCA's on eBay and they had a square (sort of) hunk of steel under the rubber bumper. The guy claimed they were off a 70 GTX, would that be correct? What did they do just raise the bumper some? My 70 Charger didn't have them and I've not seen them on other cars.

A12 cars had an extra plate. Dont know about 70s,maybe some other models had it also.

It was kind of random from what I have seen, although on A12's the engineering drawings called for them. Good to use in my opinion.

Used on cars with 15" tire/wheels combinations

Never thought to check my 14" cars vs my 15" cars....Going off to look...

Found them in the 70 Parts Book under part number
2071727   For B, J, R, W, D and C  (No P though). No explanation or notes.
Low part number so they have been in use for a while.

I get it...to keep 15 inch tires from bottoming out, interesting. Thanks guys, between the 6 pack and the bumper plates my old car has inherited some GTX genetics.

My 70 Charger R/T has them. It's a 440-4 car that came with 14" steelies from the factory...

It would be quite possible for a car to have them even though it was equipment specified for something else.  A temporary shortage of the correct one, an assembly mistake, a broadcast sheet typo, any number of things.
