77 luggage rack

May 21, 2005 1 Replies

I have a '77 with a luggage rack on the back deck. I'd like to remove it for re-chroming but I've heard that if I unscrew the fasteners that the nuts will fall off underneath and are not accessible without removing the gas tank. True or false



I had a thought that I might be able to remove the gas filler cap assembly and maybe get my hand in under the deck to get at the nuts. I haven't investigated this.



Any ideas

I've done it on a '71 which is similar , and had no prob reaching them....... Sounds like BS to me.
