64 rear end housing
Hi guys. Does anyone know what these are on the rear axle tubes? They are on both sides. Nothing is attached to them.
Thanks for the help. |

Re: 64 rear end housing
Is what would have been clamped there directly under a frame rail? If so, probably overload coil springs.

Re: 64 rear end housing
Doesn't look factory and I can't imagine what it was for.

Re: 64 rear end housing
Thanks for the replies.
The truck has the factory overload springs. I have never seen anything like it. I can’t see that anything was ever attached to it. I’m stumped. |

Re: 64 rear end housing
Someone added those. Not factory. Discard and move on.

Re: 64 rear end housing
It looks like somebody wanted to protect the tubes from the U bolts.
My 66 housing and parts went to the recyclers yesterday. I got $ .078 a pound for it, which probably didn't pay for the gas to bring it there. After a long time on Kijiji nobody wanted it. |
