Wow Never noticed that till you stated this so I checked my 66 air trucks today and one original 66 non air 283 pickup. This is now the easiest way to visually check for a factory air assembly line install. Two had the X brace with the bars bent outwards a few inches from each end and the non air trucks were perfectly flat bars. All had the lower end of the bars riveted to the support and a bolts to the upper ends. My one ac truck which was not factory installed air did not even have the X bar replaced from the dealer installation!
