If you’re talking about the brake reaction struts these are how mine are on my 37. I bought the truck with the (aftermarket) MII front end already under it but they had bolted on worn out original parts. The pictures are from when I rebuilt the front end and added 11” brakes and ride height adjusters.

The rear bracket location will be kind of critical as the rod needs to be centered in the hole and the right distance to be centered on the bushings when they are full compressed. This will need to be done with the suspension at ride height with the springs compress as they will be with the full weight of the car on them (i.e. drive train, sheet metal etc).
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
