What lower control arms does it fit 67 to 72 or 73 to 76?

Short answer I’m not sure.
If you want to search the forum for 55917 you might run across something. I’ll see if I can find out.

Notes from the manufacture:
Requires removal of factory end link tabs. Sway bar kit provides clearance for 18 in. wheels with up to 5.75 in. backspacing.
 
Did a search, any lca can be used as hellwig sway bar tabs need to be installed. Those tabs are included
 
Can you do free shipping? Summit does on orders over $100. I get that you’re trying to play the back order in your favor to make your money back but I could wait if shipping is not included.
Thanks
 
San Diego, but, after thinking about it I get a military discount with Summit that is pretty sizable.
Thanks

This is for '67-'72's, the bar goes through the K member '73 & up, not that one couldn't reinforce the later frame & move the mounting points outside and up front.

I have a '68 FB FS with 11.75" rotors and pin-type calipers. I had to mount towards rear to clear swaybar (1 1/8" Helwig with straight arms). Will this bar clear large brakes mounted forward? Any thoughts would help.

Hellwig instructions make no mention of it. I searched this forum and for as many people that have installed this bar I would think there would be a consistent complaint if that was the case.

It's designed for rim/tire clearance when using 16",17" or 18" rims with over 4 1/2" backspacing. Or 245 or wider tires with 4 1/2" backspacing 15" rims

No, and neither does Hellwig. Can you explain?

“My experience ordering this bar was Hellwig doesn’t keep them on the shelf and neither does anyone else. Once an order is made they will produce one”. That said it’s possible I’m wrong and someone here might have more insight. I purchased through Summit racing and I received the bar 5 months later.

I decided to go with QA1.

Amazon shows 1 in stock. Not sure which supplier they use though, but they do show availability.
 
I ordered the Hellwig bar from Super Shops. They were listed as the Amazon dealer. They have one left in stock. Ordered direct and already received the bar. The bar uses an angle bracket that bolts to the shock bolt. That should be solid enough if you use a Grade 8 bolt of the right length. I cannot check fit as the Cuda is being painted and won't be ready for more than a month at best. But at least it will be painted!
A Black-on-Black FB FS 340 that I have owned since June, 1969. Just a few years!
