The rear end on my '40 looks like it was converted to a gas shock setup. There are brackets, that don't appear to be factory installed, welded to the top of the axle housing. Right next to them are some small indentations on top of the housings. Does anyone know what these indentations are for and whether those brackets are stock? Am I missing some parts? I can't seem to find a good picture or diagram of how that rear end should look stock. If anyone has good a picture of one that they could post or email me that would be great. I'm having the front and rear axle assy's powdercoated soon and if those brackets aren't stock then I want them off of there.
Thanks for any replies.
