How do these attach to Cuda tail panel? Need pics!

I need to get a pair of these and weld them to my 73. Anybody have pics of a tailpanel with no bumper so I can see how they fit?

Thanks

This is the passenger side.  I struggled with the after market piece.  Had to do a lot of bending and cutting to make it work.

The tab on the tail panel actually goes behind the bracket that may have been why you had a hard time fitting them if you welded them up like that when I did mine I did have to hammer and clamp them in but got them in with no modification
