You are on the right track mate! The NT/F spec calls for a pair of .875 x .058 tubes that can be either welded or bolted to the frame with at least two Grade 5 or better 3/8 bolts. The tubes can come together and be bolted to the rear axle housing with a single Grade 5 or better 3/8 bolt in double shear or with a pair of the same in single shear.

Paul,
that rear end is the early small Olds so it would not have fitted anyway.

ps The seller is Earl Floyd who has quite a history in the sport, check the 4th paragraph:

We had an interesting chat just now when I purchased the parts--thanks for the lead.

I knew it was in Earls collection he has some cool old stuff! I do not know any thing about the early Olds stuff but knew someone needs it!
Countn Carbs:
I have the rearend tack welded in the car now at the preferred ride height but i only have about a half inch from the bottom of the rearend housing to the bottom of the chassis. I hate to move the rearend up higher in the car if I don't have to.
Any ideas with only having a small area under the car to deal with? Or just make the brackets and if it hangs down no big deal??? As long as it's not below the scrub line?
