REAR Suspension
Something feels really loose or just kinda squishy in 1st and 2nd when I ease off. something maybe came loose? I looked under the car everything seems to be intact. Any suggestions. 72 coupe 383 4-speed its the red car

Only in 1st or 2nd? Odd that it isn't even more pronounced in higher gears, which has me thinking more of a torque related issue. Not easy to pinpoint from internet distance, but with no apparent worn/loose suspension link likely at fault (you may want to do a more thorough investigation than the M1 eyeball test) the next suspects I'd be checking would probably be the diff x-member mounts and diff side yoke endplay.

Did you run the car with the rear wheels off the ground at full droop? You probably popped a side yoke snap ring off inside the differential.....grab a wheel and try pulling it in/out a good differential will only move around 1/16-1/8" sloppy one a little more....if the clip is out....it will move a bunch.....not good!
