    The 71-76 full size GM rear bars will all fit. Years ago I found that 74-76 Pontiacs are a good source. Also, if you need lower rear control arms, 94-96 Caprice squad cars had identical measurements but were thicker steel. Hope this helps.

    Yes, The 71-76 Riviera frame was nearly identical to a LeSabre frame. The Riviera wheelbase was 122". The LeSabre was 124".

    I have an Adco aftermarket bar on my 72 Grandville, it works great, thicker than the OEM bar and eliminates the need for specific OEM lower control arms

    9c1 caprice bars are about 1.65" too narrow for big cars..

    However, 78-96 b body wagons with bars are correct. Need lca's as well
