66 AIM says the following:

For L72, rear and front suspension assembled per RPO F40. Rear bar is part no. 3871324. It's 5/8" diameter.

Fronts I don't have the part numbers but the available diameters were 7/8" and 15/16", the latter being used on L72s. I believe the 7/8 bar was standard on L36 (390HP) versions.

Standard big-blocks got a 7/8" front bar and a 9/16" rear bar. F40 (which was only available with the L72 engine) increased the front bar to 15/16" and didn't affect the rear bar.
