What is this part of the frame?
Probably a simple question, but what is the part of the frame? There is not a symmetrical piece on the other rear wheel area. Does it have to do with the e-brake?
Thank you.
Thank you.

That's the torque strut, there's only one...It helps keep the leaf springs from twisting due to the resulting torque on the axle caused by the tractive work of the tires. Early cars didn't have it, it was introduced in 67.5 with the 2L.
The twisting results in a weird hopping feeling during rapid acceleration if the strut is not there.
BTW - What html do you use to put a pic in a post?

Thanks very much. That explains it.
To post pics I host the pics elsewhere and them just wrap the image tags around the html address of the picture.
You can wrap the IMG tags around the address text automatically in the post editor by selecting the text of the html address of the picture (for this picture I used "http://home.austin.rr.com/conner1914/part.jpg" without quotes as the address of the picture) and then clicking the "Img" button while you have the text selected. The "Img" button is second from the right in the menu of buttons right under the "Subject" line of your new post.
I hope that's clear. I can't give a full example of the text without it replacing the code with the picture because I don't know how to "comment out" lines of code in this editor.
