Call Shelly at Addco 800 621-8916. Last year I bought the last front bar they had in stock. I had to wait about 2 months until they did another run of rear bars.

The Addco rear bar does not require a bracket to be welded onto the axel like the OGTS bar does. The bar mounts to four tapped body holes that were there on my '73 GT. The hardware provided just screwed right in. The end of the bar mounts up to the lower rear coil spring cups via a bracket that is mounted to it.

I can't comment on how the Addco bar compares in actual performance to the OGTS bar. I just went with the easier installation, since I don't have welding gear. Adding the bars does make a heck of a difference in handeling. Well worth the $200 to me.
