Which chassis builders besides Stanton used the hoop design in the 1970's and 1980's? The hoop starts on the bottom rail. And which builders would have used the hoop design and the adjustable rear radius rod keyway together? If you found a Stanton non wing four bar chassis with Firestone stickers on both sides of the cage, what era would it be from? Other indicators are low back seat, inboard brake, FBI tank and slider rear. Thank you.

J&J, Tognatti, Nance, Buckley, Trostle, Maxwell, Stapp, Shores, almost everyone of that era built them that way until Gambler in 1980.
Stanton, (or Challenger) was about the last to use that cage design up until 87 when Gambler made their downtube car standard. From then on the current cage style became the norm.

A Stanton with Firetone decals on the cage would be 79 maybe 1980.
