Well I wasn't trying to be a smartass but I guess it came off that way. Just think it makes no sense adapting one the fit when they came stock on them. Just find a correct one. Now, The stock bar is pretty thin. I could see wanting something a little heavier in todays world. I have a second gen chevy that looks about 7/8ths and it looks like it would fit the econo chassis. I'm sure several bars are close to the econo in length. It's a pretty standard shape. I can get some measurements from one if you would like? That way you could search the pick a parts and see if something will work.
