Thanks, what you posted is not the whole answer, but it helps. I've never worked on a Studebaker that had one of these installed so how it fits is a bit fuzzy."In the heart of Arkansas."

But I'm glad I was able to help at least a little bit.

Seems like it was within the last week or so. I'd search for that, 'cuz this is the best I can do~
The pic above is my '58 Packard sedan, by the way.

Is it mounted differently, or...?

Originally posted by 52-fan View PostThanks Charlie. The shape looks about the same, but the 52 version may be narrower just like the rear end. Nice clear pictures of how yours mounts.Originally posted by SN-60 View PostAlthough it's very similar,...I believe it's shaped differently for body clearance reasons.
I'll go with that.
But does it mount differently?
How it's mounted is also what was asked, and that's what I was trying to show.
Now a much better picture has been posted. (albeit on a '55)

The main bar mounts/swivels on the frame, where the frame kicks up, ahead of the differential. There are already four mounting holes for it in the edge of the frame.
The arms attach to the plates that hold the rear springs and shock absorbers to the axle.
The shape and curve of the connecting arms, as well as the width of the main bar are different, with 51-53 being narrower than 53-up. You can think of it this way:
-51-52 is one set and
-53 and newer is the other set.
-Some 50 Commanders had them as well, but that would be a third set.
None are interchangeable even though they look similar.
They all mount the same way.Last edited by RadioRoy; 02-26-2014, 01:07 PM.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.
