So this 83 has an 8.8 rear end with 3:73’s and 4 lug axles. There isn’t an info tag on it. The only thing bolted to the cover is a bracket on top for a brake line. On the top of both tubes are this bracket that has no purpose on this car. Can anybody tell what this rear end came out of based on these brackets? You can also see some leftover packing tape from wherever they got this from.

Those brackets are for the quad shocks commonly found on 86 and up Mustangs
