Sway Bar sizes?

What size sway bars were made for these trucks? Were they 1 1/4" or 1" or what? What size do you typically find at the bone yards?

Thanks,

NutZ

To my knowledge (which is limited), an 1-1/16" and 1-1/8" swaybars came on 67-72 2wd trucks depending on what model it was ordered on (ie: C10 vs C20/30). The 1-1/4" bar came on the 73-up C20/30 trucks and fit the 67-72 trucks but were not available from the factory on 67-72 trucks. I have pulled several 1-1/4" bars off mid 70's trucks (mainly C20's) I find in the local junkyard.
