rear of frame

Can someone please post a picture of a original 57 rear frame from just in front of the rear end to the end of the frame rails. I have a few odd brackets that do not look original but have no idea what they were used for and nothing to compare to.

Thanks !

Re: rear of frame

Here are two that might help. One of the end and one of the ebrake stuff in the middle.

Re: rear of frame

the top of the shocks mount behind the axle. the bottom of the shocks mount to brackets that are bolted to the bottom of the axles at each leaf spring mount
here is a picture of Monty56's truck. you can see the top shock mount, and as i said the bottom shock mount is a bracket placed on the bottom of the differential when its bolted to the leaf springs...
