What would you recommend. This is for a 67 Barracuda with a 8 3/4 rear stock shock mounting points using Calvert shocks Ah...so many pedestrians, so little time...

I do not see the bracket to mount the bar to. Is it just really short or something? Other than that question, I REALLY like how yours is made compared to the Calverts Old Geezer Racing

Other than that question, I REALLY like how yours is made compared to the Calverts Good question, I missed it in my first reply. This is a "u weld it" kit so you need to buy the brackets for the link bar separate. Some guys just want the shock plate with the double shear shock mount, other guys want the whole kit so they can run a link bar. http://arengineering.com/products/caltrac-plates/

Yes, I added a loop hole in the plate for tie downs.
