    Try searching it, you'll find your choices are pretty limited.

    Global West has a set that will weld right in,no mods & good quality.A friend of mine just welded a set into a 65 Falcon,I`m pretty sure they will fit our cars also.

    Technically round chromoly would be best/stronger all around then any square tubing
    but if you know direction of bending force then square would be better

    I have a pair of square tube sub connectors I am not going to use. If you are interested send me a pm and we can talk.
