Those Look they are for a Chevelle and chevelles have contol arms that will keep the housing from rotating around the pinion gear and causing a wreck. Usually you will loose the driveshaft rear ujoint up against the bottom of the car. But on the Chev II's they had nothing that went over the rear axle where it fit on the spring and the dam things were killers. when the wield would break and it did when you put enought torke to it, then the entire rearend had nothing but the driveshaft holding it under the car. If you were going fast enought it would cause a hell of a wreck.

I bet it cost GM a bunch of money back then. They had the same set up out for 3 to 4 years until the horsepower of the 327 HI Per motors suddenly started to twist the entire housing out of the cars. simple solution was to just replace the bolts with a U bolt and problem solved.

I would bet someone here has the service order or what ever they called it.
