Instead of shims it has the threaded pieces on the sides of the bearings that move the carrier back and forth. There is a special sling shot looking tool with a couple of pins sticking out that is made to turn them. You loosen th caps and loosen one and tighten the other to move the carrier.

This is a drop out out of a 64 car but the concept is the same.

I is the later spicer rear ends with the third member as part of the housiing the use shims.
