Yes the brackets comes welded onto the ford 9" when you purchase the complete quadralink kit with housing. Here is some info I received from Dan Oddy about housing size and wheel back spacing. Maybe this will help you.

Thank you for using our Detroit Speed & Engineering products. On the 69 DSE Camaro we run a 18”x10” wide wheel with a 6.125” backspace and 275/35/R18 tire size. For the rear we run a 18”x12” wide wheel with a 6.125” backspace and a 335/30/R18 tire size however the rear axle has been narrowed to 56.000” from axle flange to axle flange. Currently we normally will run a 18”x12” wide wheel with a 5.500” backspacing and we will narrow the rear axle to 54.750” from axle flange to axle flange for a deeper dish wheel look. Let me know your axle length and I will be happy to help you with the correct backspacing for the rear wheels.
If you have any other questions please let me know.
Thanks.

I think mine is 54.5" wide and my 12" wheels have 5.375" BS.
Get your wheels first the way you want them, mick them up and then order the rear to fit.

If you are planning to switch to a 9" you need to seriously consider a full floating hub rear. Moser sells a complete 9" rear minus the center section for $879 in any width you need. If you are not familiar with what a floating hub is do a search and you will find a good deal of information. I'm sure DSE has provisions for welding their brackets on your housing. Here's a pic of my Moser 9" floater.
