All of the trucks got them factory. Look under the front where the core support mounts. The mounts are in center. The later trucks have the mounts farther apart. Without the bars the front can twist. You don't have to use them but they do a job. You could make some mounts at the outer edges of the core support to the frame and that should help. I did that with a 53 and it worked well.
