  1. The cast 5 bolt pedistal, or elephant ears as we call them had three types that I am aware of. The smaller set like you have were for 44k and down suspensions. This is the set that went away with the introduction of the fabricated sets in R models. Then there was the 55k & later 58k sets that had a larger elephant ear bolt pattern with larger bolts around 3/4". Then there was the 60k/65K that used even larger elephant ear bolts that were like 15/16" or even 1". These were used on 80K rears too. The cast iron elephant ear pedistals are still in use today in 58k and 65k Camelback suspensions. ( my bolt sizes are a little blurry, they might even be a little bigger)
