I note that the instruction drawing sheet states in print that it is for a 61-62 setup (although there is a handwritten note on the box that says it is for a for a 63).
The picture below shows the changes made from the 61-62 axle setup to the 63 setup. This was a substantial change.
I believe the setup is for the earlier 61-62 axle setup. I visualize that the “bars” act as a “solid” link between the frame rail and the “axle” thereby limiting the amount of vertical travel the axle can make up or down. This addresses the problem of the wheels tucking under.
Note there is a left and right mounting instruction. It appears the front mount goes to the outside of the frame rail.
