[66Submarine]

It looks like you've created a triangle with your install that will bind as the suspension tries to move (unless I'm missing something).

I was determined to try installing it on the 62's rear trail arms, but I was concerned that the way it would fit wouldn't be very effective. I googled swaybars and saw that CPP has one to fit their tubular replacement trail arms, mounted just how I wanted to do this one. Well, I took a chance and positioned it in place and began to make some brackets that bolted to the outside frame, right under the step. I had used some 6" x 3.5" x 3/8" thick cut into 6" lengths aluminum angle sourced from an old computer rack. I clamped the brackets to the frame, then the bushings onto the trail arms and new frame brackets. After I aligned it up into position with clamps, I drilled all the holes. I pulled down the brackets and dressed all the edges and painted them black, reinstalled them permanently. After the installation, I went for the test drive....
The handling had greatly improved and the rear end stopped that annoying bounce I was getting on rough roads. The front swaybar improved handling so well I thought the rear one would not be very noticeable, but I'm pleased to say that it now handles like the truck should. I won't be competitive in any autocross, but I can drive into a turn and not be concerned about getting squirmy because the road is bumpy. This is the piece of the puzzle that was missing and I think the improvement was great....There is a swaybar available from CPP for the rear 60-72 truck which would most likely be an easier installation than what I did.
