This bar fits the '68 - 72 GM A-bodies - UMI Performance, P/N 4034. Addco also makes a bar for this application: P/N 690. Summit & Jegs carry both brands.
Car handles much better with the 1 1/8" bar in the front along with Bilsteins all around!

Thanks for those pics. I know it's not the way Pontiac did it in the early 60's, but I just love the look of your installation. Compact and clean, out of the way of everything. Very nice. I think I will box the lower arms.
