Topic: Is PI0 necessary on Metuchen Buck Tag to be a 65 GT?

So a regular "A" code with an eight inch rear axle and a GT with an "A" code that also uses an eight inch real axle use different snubbers?

Yes, the same square corner snubber plate is the same.  No reason to make a different rear build up for a dual exhaust A code.

Uh, no.  K code and GT A code share the same snubber plate welded under the car.

There's a few very obvious ones (snubber plate). 

Now I'm confused. All "A" codes, GT or not, use the same snubber, which is different than a "K" code. But your statement above implies/indicates a different one for "A" code engines (both using an eight inch rear axle) for GT and non-GT. I know the brake line routes and lines are different, but the rest of the axle is the same.

I'm talking about the plate welded under the rear floor.

Yes, the difference was in single exhaust vs dual exhaust. An A code single exhaust car received a different snubber plate than an A code dual exhaust car.
All dual exhaust cars, A or K, received the same dual exhaust snubber. But don't take my word for it, wait for Mr. Turner to answer.

Opps, Looks like I was to late

I also have a 1965 Metuchen built factory GT bucked very close to the vehicle in being discussed in the thread.  My GT was bucked on July 21 (code G21 on the buck tag).  My buck tag includes PIO.  I've attached a picture of my buck tag with a partial VIN.  In addition, I've provided a picture of the snubber plate (taken during the restoration).

I also noticed that the buck tag at the start of the post has no inspectors marks (the punchouts on the buck tag).  My buck tag has 3 inspectors punchouts (denoted by the red arrows). 

PS - Ignore the rear 66 style seatbelt brackets in the snubber picture.  I know they are not factory (I had them installed so my kids would have seat belts in the rear seat).  The car came from the factory without rear seat belts.  In addition, my car also came from the factory without the rear backup lights and has the non-backup lights tail light wiring harness.
