Am I just not seeing it?
These trucks do come with anti-sway bars, don't they? I was looking under mine and couldn't find it. Everyone I've ever seen has been in front of the control arms, but there's not one on my truck. What year models have a sway bar that would fit mine if I went to the ole junk yard?

What will fit? 73-87. What came with the, 3/4T came with them, it was basically an option on may trucks.

My 85 Silverado came with it. I think it comes on the heavy duty brake or suspension package.

I think it is an option by itself. My 73 had the heavy duty suspension and brakes, but no sway bar(s). It doesn't look like it would be too hard to adapt one, though.

I don't think the sway bar was tied to the heavy duty suspension or brake option. My 84 SWB with light duty brakes and suspension had a 1 1/16 sway bar. The brackets were riveted on, so I would guess it is factory. I scored a 1 1/4 bar from a 3/4 ton burb that is on it now.
I have seen the sway bars on everything from 77 to 85 and 1/2 to 3/4 ton models. Those were just trucks I owned at one time or another. I have an extra 1 1/16 bar and frame brackets if you are interested. It is still on the truck, so I would need to pull it to make it's not worn out where the bushings mount.

No, the sway bar was not part of the HD brake package. Both my 77 Cheyenne and my 82 Blazer have the HD brakes, and no sway bar. Like Chris said the 3/4 ton trucks came with them. 1/2 ton trucks it was an option.
Any 73-87 2wd truck, Blazer, or Burb sway bar will fit. The 1/2 ton bars will be 1 1/16" like beaterC10 said. The 3/4 ton trucks/Burbs will have a 1 1/8" bar so it is the bar of choice if you salvage yard shopping...
