for the ghia?  ball joint or link pin?  I can narrow and weld ajdusters in your beam.  I know 6 inch is the way to go for beetlesm but i do not know about ghias

sounds like you would be able to leave the shock towers

Yeah what he said!

The thing beam and bug beam are the same size.

i think the thing beam is wider than the beetle beam, wonder if you could use a beetle beam?

Beams are the same. Only the spindles are different .

And the over/under arrangement of the ball joints, too, I think... 

Indeed, I forgot about the control arms. I think the "Upper" control arms are the same but the "lower" arms have the upside down ball joint. To bad all ball joint beams didn't have that feature. At least the spindle wouldn't have left the room when the lower ball joint got a little floppy on a speed hump.
