Maybe I don't have sense enough to find it, but I looked at a couple of those sites and I didn't see a rag joint for a '72. My first choice is Dennis Carpenter because I am not too far away from him. I'm definitely going to need a new rag joint. After looking at it, I can't really explain what is holding it all together.

LOL, I actually gave O'Reilly's a shot at it before I went to Advance, but O'Reilly's says they couldn't get it. So, I stopped at Advance and showed them the printout I got from their website and they actually had one in stock. So, i bought it. Thanks for the heads-up, Randle!
