Rear sway bar mounting

I am finally getting around to installing the rear sway bar I bought last year. I believe I have all the original parts and I will locate replacement bushings and U-bolts. My issue is that I have never seen a factory 67-72 rear sway bar mounted. The bar-to-diff mount is easy to see. The frame mount is the part I am not positive about.

Here are some pictures.

Sorry for the kink in your neck, I was trying to orient the sway bar.


The frame mount parts.


Close up of the frame connection.


So, the Z part is easy. Is the frame supposed to be sandwiched in between the other two pieces? Is the short L supposed to be inside the frame or under it? Why is it L shaped? I could just slap it in there, but I prefer it to be like factory. This baby will be controlling a lot of swaying weight from time to time.

Since I took the pictures, I have the right side parts and the sway bar painted (hammered silver just like the front sway bar). The left side parts will get done today or tomorrow just to keep parts in order. Left and right will swap, but I could get them backwards if I don't keep track. And that would lead to more scratched paint. Yea, it is a work truck, but it need to be clean at least for a little while!
