Not that I'm aware of just yet. I cut and spliced mine using a damaged pair I found at a salvage yard.

Looks good. How much did you widen the tubs?

I think I went 2-3 inches wider on mine.

You will need to do your own. Or have some one do it for you.

Same process here. These are 5-3/4" wider than stock.

You can put the 67-72 4" widened tubs in the rears of our 60-66's. I just put some in mine, they fit just fine. Gotta drill some new holes, no big deal though. Beats cutting and welding new ones all up. Unless you're into doing that, more power to ya!
