I have searched and haven’t seen anything definitive, to me at least.
I go this car in pieces and it doesn’t appear there was a center support or carrier. does this style do with out? Jbugs shows this style mount but seems like all center supports are aftermarket style. i’d prefer to keep it rubber mounts. Pictures of what i have attached and also what i ordered to replace what i have.

1974-1979 they changed the rear mounts and cradle.
You can simply use the 69-73 mounts and cradle
This is my 74 with the earlier style mounts and cradle.

I converted mine using a Empi HD support. It’s not solid and allows the use of early rubber mounts. I don’t like the late style mounts.
