Unless you're wanting an original one, Tractor Supply sells J bolts.

Realize that a standard j-bolt will require some tweaking to get it to work right. Refer to your other thread about this to see what the j-bolt looks like. A photo was posted on there of an original one. Let us know how it turns out.

I found one what i didnt realize is that in 70 and 71 they used a long J bolt and sometime in 72 they went to a short one unless it has something to do a with a AC car and Non AC car?

I think non AC challenger hooks are short.
I found it hard to fit so I left it off. Maybe there is a trick I did not catch on to.

hmm.... the place I bought it from said non ac cars are long

I had a look at my 1971 factory service manual.
It looks like the Dart model does use the long rod.
The Challenger is definitely the short one if you go by the FSM diagram.
