They aren't the correct items anyway, nor were they black, but often sprayed over with underbody insulating tar. These are the closest I've seen but would be hard to add without access to the rear to bend the tabs over. Those may be easier to simply clip into place if you have nothing there at all.

The green plugs are correct for 1970-73 drop offs. The silver ones are correct for later year cars and the smaller holes under the rear seat bottoms.

What model is yours, GRD777, thought much later, just saw forum years.
Anyone got a pic of the early green? Seen them, or similar, in late 60s GM. Not sure how they'd compare to original. Pic?
Good info.

These plugs were, or are Galvanized steel, and go into a hole with a slot in the bottom. My 72 below, original paint, just cleaned off. Guess what that slot is for, anyone?? I will post answer on Saturday..

Will have to dig out my bin with the plugs. They are/ were Galvanized and coated what I thought was gray.
The SLOT.... was for when car went in the " Dipper" .
So, yeah drainage is Correct..
