John:
I believe you are referring to the gussets added to the sides of the 4
front suspension lower wishbone mounting brackets. If memory serves, these
gussets were added in '72 to address the problems experienced with the
brackets breaking loose from the frame. Apparently the gussets were
adequate to prevent any further problems with this area. My '73 has the
gussets. It is my opinion, though I have no personal experience to back
this up, that adding the gussets would be a wise move, particularly if you
plan to beef up your suspension at all.
Hope this helps!
