Panhard bar, Watts linkage, Wob-link and Mumford link are the most common linkages for lateral support.

Art Morrison makes all the above locating methods. In kits with all brackets rod-ends and bars needed for the do it your selfer.

I went with competition engineering's panhard kit on the 58. It comes with a chromemoly tube, weld-in bungs, rod ends and mounting brackets (which I had to modify) all for about $70.

I don't know what breed of rear you have but Morrison sells a panhard bar that is perfect fit for a nine inch rear. I think it sells for about $100. It's a bolt on to the third member and weld on the frame.

Alston and Morrison both offer quality stuff. I lean a bit toward Alston's Chassisworks.
