The GTs had lower bars that were made of the same hollow tubing as the strut-to-firewall-bars.

"There were lower strut braces fitted to some cars, and my '78 GT is so equipped. These braces connect the rear a-arm mount to the crossmember, right under the front pivot for the a-arm. These should be really easy to make, as it's just a piece of steel tubing flattened at the two ends. Holes need to be drilled in the car, too."


They're pretty short and I don't think they'd do as good a job as the IPD H shaped part.
