64 rear end housing

2 Attachment(s)

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.

Doesn't look factory and I can't imagine what it was for.

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.

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.
