Sway bar in local yard (Portland) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just went to the U-Pull-It on Foster Rd and there's a 1-ton dually with a big fat 1-1/4" sway bar on it. I didn't really want to get greasy and take the time to pull it off, not knowing if I could sell it but hopefully someone local can use it.

I might be interested in it depending on price and shipping!

I think this was a friendly "if you need this part and live in the area... this is where it is at, pull it yourself" announcement.

Yep, she looks like one tough cookie. Probably could pull more than just that sway bar too.

Thanks for the heads up Brad! Just might go grab that next week if its still around.

tavenner13 · 04-20-2007, 10:19 PM

what about with coil/trailing arm rears?

Brad · 04-20-2007, 10:39 PM

Uh, guys this post is over a year old- I think it's long gone by now.

redhead69 · 04-20-2007, 11:09 PM

The big 1 1/4" bars are the thing to have. Plants the front end real nice. Get new bushings from any of the board vendors and you can "slice and dice".

I agree and 73-87 3/4 and 1-tons are 1 1/4 and work on our trucks.

Sweet!! I'm going shopping for cheapo upgrades for my 67!! Anyone have any info on a junk yard rear sway application for a leaf spring rear?

As far as I know aftermarket bars are the only option for 12-bolt leaf spring rears. A number of the board vendors have them.
