1960 muffler clamp part # help

[Daniel J.]

I am looking for correct muffler clamps for my 1960.
AIM states # 3718801
Part I am looking at is # 3719496
Have the original part bee superseded?
Thanks, Dan

The 3718801 is a single clamp used at the rear junction between the bumper and the frame area. 3719496 appears to be the assembly for the clamp unit "U" bolt and clamp section, where the '801 is just the lower part. Should be the same item.

Daniel, GM P&A book indicates that the 3719496 clamps are used for muffler to tail pipe connection on 55-60 Corvettes and 55-57 passenger cars.
