On my 65, it just goes through a hole in the frame. The hole is drilled up around where the VIN is stamped into the frame.

It's been 20 years since I changed mine over to power steering but I seem to remember that there was a small bracket mounted on one of the bolts on the original steering box.

Clutch spring attaches to a small ell bracket that's held in place by the oil pan bolt about 4" forward of the bellhousing.
