Rear Sway Bar?
Just wondering if there is a rear sway bar from other vehicles that we can use on our trucks?

hrmm, dunno about a rear we can use, but I know you can snap them off '73+ trucks for the front.
If you really want a rear sway (and you have rear coils) performance suspension sells one for about $135 its a bolt on application, no drilling, and its a really beefy bar. I have one, but you know, I don't even have control arms on my truck right now so I haven't really used it to give ya a feedback on quality or aynthing lol maybe in a year or more :P ------------------ Projects Belair '71 C10 LWB to SWB conversion:C10 project page 65Chevelle pics coming soon |

I think I may have a factory REAR SWAY BAR for our trucks???? It appears to mount with the u-bolts on a coil spring rear. it is in that angle anyway, and appears to be proper size, I was planning on trying it for fit when I get to that point in the building... there are not any sort of mounts with it just a bar, but...I don't even remember where I came up with this way bar...I'll let ya'll know...

what about trying a nascar style. search for a Speedway catalog. They sell stock car racing type stuff. It should work, b/c a lot of the small time racers use our rear suspension.

I bought an aftermarket rear sway bar from Performance Suspension Components. It worked go for a while until one of the mounts FELL OFF. Now I am going to make my one brakets and mount them directly to the trailing arms.

I took one off a 89 Camaro and put it on my truck. I should have a write up about it on my website. Fits great, people tell me it almost looks like something GM would have made.

67-72 did not have factory or dealer avaialble rear bars, front bars off big cars are good to use, as they are wider than front truck bars are and that is a good thing to have in the rear, U bolts are how factory usually attaches rear bars to rear axles, butr they usually use end links, fabhbing up ends is hardest deal to do
