I don't think anyone makes them. USBodysource says they will be making them in the future.

You may just want to make your own out of 2" x 3" x 1/4" steel tube

I made my own out of 2x3 for my 65. It wasn't a tough job and I can post pictures if you're interested, but if you have basic welding/metal working skills, it's pretty easy.
Oh and best part was total cost for materials (not counting welding wire/gas and paint) was $32.15.

2 x 3 is good, but 1/4 inch is WAY too thick! Use 14 gage (0.082 inch). Plenty strong enough. Whatever you do, make sure they are welded in.

I love making my own stuff. The problem is that I only have a generic 110 welder that I can't add gas to. Will have to pay someone to weld them in so a pre-made set would cost me less in the end.
Are there any other tricks to stiffening up the frame for drag use. I did the floor pans myself and kinda messed up by not totally connecting them back to the frame.:( Is there a way to remedy this or am I screwed. Would like the car to run mid to low 11's(someday)

Bolt in frame connectors are like bolt on tits. They LOOK ok but aren't the same. This is a good excuse to upgrade your welder.
