I just installed one on my 65 that i pulled from an 86 3/4 ton from salvage yard. 1" Bar. bought 4 Moog blue bushings for $20 at Advanced Auto. Bolted it right to the frame-no brackets. had to use some ratchet straps and jack to compress bar a little bit. Drilled out the 2 rivits on rad support. (1 at a time). You will need to drill two additional holes into frame for top mounts. Used the existing holes on the lower A arms. took about 2 hours total. I am running the 2.5 drop spindles. cost less than 50 bucks.
