You have bolt in or weld in. With bolt in conectors you can get bolt hole strech which is not good. I feel that weld in connectors are best. I have a 69 and purchased them all, after looking at them I sent them all back and built my own. If you can fab your own, do it, if not let me know and I'll make you a pair. With the ones I built the only thing that has to be modified is the rear brake line routing

What did u make your connectors out of? Square tubing? Do yours pass through the floor? I have a full fabrication shop available so i also want to build my own, although i want to go the bolt on route so the subframe can be removed without much work. At the rear what do they attach to? I just cantsee spending 100 bucks on something i can build in a few evenings. Thanks

I used 3 x 2 box tube. Mine are weld in, they slip inside the front sub-frame, follow the contour of the floor then tie into the rear frame next to the front spring perch. No holes in the floor, no cuts to the spring perch and no problem working on body mounts, break lines, fuel lines or rear springs.
