PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Guys, I just spent over 5 hours tryin to put the passengers side caliper bracket on my 77' F-350 and I just cant figure it out! Can someone please post a picture of their 76'-79' F-350 with the front tire off? I just need to know how the backing plate and caliper bracket mount. At first I thought I had the axles in reverse (left side on right, right side on left), but then I realised that the tie rod wouldn't install any other way then I have it now. I really need help with this. Me, my dad, and my mechanic grandfather have no clue

Parts catalog pic applies to 1976/79 E250/350 (Econoline) & F250/350. Hub & rotor may not match what your F350 has.

It should be a mirror image of the left side.

When you say "left", or a part says "left", am I sitting in the drivers seat or and I standing in front of the truck?

How about this.

It should be a mirror image of the OTHER side.
