CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT USED SWAY BAR WILL WORK ON MY 63 . I READ THE THREAD CONCERNING ONES FOR THE REAR, I HAVE DROPPED SPINDLES AND DROPPED SPRINGS, AND THE TRUCK SEEMS TO SORTA "WALLOW" AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED(65-70). THINK A SWAY BAR WLL HELP?

The easiest way to go is 73-87 bars. They fit directly and are easy to source from junkyards.

I used one off an 85 Suburban on my 63.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION AND THE PIC. I WILL HIT THE JUNKYARD THIS WEEK-END. WHAT CONTROL ARMS ARE ON YOUR TRUCK? THE ONE ON MY TRUCK LOOK DIFFERENT, THEY AREN'T AS STRAIGHT AS YOURS MINE CURVE DOWN LIKE A CAMARO OR SOMETHING

Is that bar you used off a 4wd or a 2wd?

Those arms are off the Suburban. The reason they look different is my dropped spindles and dropped coil springs. Other than having different bushings, they are the same shape and configuration as your factory arms are.

Everything is factory 2wd spec parts.
