Re: '56 TB Mystery hangers/supports
Whatever they were for in the past they don't belong there, every picture you google there is nothing there but the bolt that holds the bracket to the frame, maybe somebody had the exhaust routed through there at one time ?

Re: Installing options cost and difficulty
These baby birds aren't bringing much money lately, there's a 57 that came on with a lot of maintenance records with a no reserve should be interesting.
