Looks like you have a '60-'62 Eaton HO32/33 under your truck. You're going to have to cut that panhard bar mount off of the passenger side axle tube and install an aftermarket panhard bar that bolts to the passenger side trailing arm under the differential.

Yes, you'll need to cut off the rearend housing bracket and switch to a track bar similar to this one:

CPP I know they work on a 66. The 65/66 drivers side chassis mount is better than previous years clearance wise I think. I have a 64 and changed to a 65/66 to clear the differential cover. Something to think of (or plan), Once you buy one company's suspension products another company's various other parts "may" not work together. So plan for the future.
