Re: Sway Bar on a 66 decision price vs labor and time
$100 for an 1.25” bar seems steep to me but I also a cheapo lol. My 65 did not come with a sway bar from the factory and was super loose with power steering / disc brakes. I was able to find a 1.25” bar from an 80 something C30 for $45 at a wrecking yard. Came with all the brackets and clamps, I bought moog bushings to replace the worn rubber bushings. Adding the sway bar was the next best upgrade I did after adding disc brakes.
If the $100 bar is the only one you can find, I would imagine you’d be in the same ball park money wise or even a little less than going with a new aftermarket and won’t have to pay shipping. It’s a great upgrade and an easy bolt in component. If it’s not something you need right away I’m sure that you’ll find one for less $$$$ if you look hard enough, just depends how bad you want it. If I were you I’d get the $100 and try to talk them down in price. Hope that helps your decision.
