Did all 68s have rear axle snubber brackets?

[Coralsnake]

They did

Not to be confused with the 67 Shelby leaf spring snubber bracket.

I think you were going for pinion snubber bracket.

[WT6066-2600]

Sorry wrong nomenclature, so this $140k restoration is missing the bracket?

[Coralsnake]

It is and a few other things, like spacers under the fog lights, the smog, the spare, the buck tag and a bunch of other knick knacks

$140kjust doesn't go very far anymore!!

The pinion snubber bracket looks to be integral to the pinion housing, which I thought Ford did not start until around 72. Were the 68's a bolt on pinion snubber??

Not on this application/those rearends.

But the cast pinion retainers with the snubber hood or contact feature was part of 8" rearend center sections since the early 60's
