Is there any difference in length between sedan and coupe?
Pretty sure there were two styles of tramp rod too.. an early and a late model.

You need to make a nice solid steel crush tube to weld in the chassis , i've done a couple using 1" solid bar, bore a hole through and then weld in the chassis

To be more specific, XA and XB GT's, P5 LTD's and Landaus. XC cop cars got a single tramp rod. XA with drum brake is usually a straight rod, and XB era disc brakes have the bent rods. Sedan and coupe are the same. The LTD units are longer bent rods.

When i had my XB gt, it came with the factory rods. After it led a early demise at Oran park, we transfered everything into a XB falcon 500.
One job was to put the tramp rods in, i measured the GT and drilled in exactly the same spot on the '500... to my shock, there was a crush tube in the chassis aready. This is the car i have now (the green one) and have since used the same hole and crush tube to mount the top control arm of the four link. also, the XE falcons i measured, they locate their top conrtrol arm in the same position!
