I have not seen any pix on the net. Send an email to Dan Walters for
current price and lead time.
It should fit your setup.
The kit consists of 3 major pieces.
1. Is a large bracket that bolts to the Dana 44 rear end using 4 of the rear
cover bolts. It also Has a ring that surrounds the nose of the rear end
(where rear u joint attaches)
2. Is the ladder arm. This has two "rod end" aka Heim joints that attach it
to the First part.
the ladder arm runs along side of the drive shaft. The front end of the
ladder inserts into a rubber bushing in the third piece.
3. The last piece attaches to the rear of the X reinforcement in the unibody
You drill two holes thru the bottom flange of the reinforcement and bolt
this piece in.
There was a note about possibly needing to remove a remnant of Alpine
Exhaust hangers.
On my car they were not there, YMMV.
