Exhaust hangers- what’s original for 68

The talk about new exhaust systems on another thread got me investigating my exhaust hangers and wondering what is stock and what is universal in exhaust hangers. My 68 Dodge w/ 383 and single exhaust had this hanger. I added dual exhaust back in high school (late 80’s).

I started with an extruded aluminum frame structure on rollers that I also use for my upholstery sewing machine.
I built a box with peg board on top and furnace filter below. Due to the channels in the side of the aluminum I was able to slide hardboard sides in to enclose the cabinet. I also got a 4″ ventilation fan with a charcoal…
