Sway bars

[mup123]

Did all 67-72 short bed pickups come with front sway bars or was this an option.

It was not installed on all trucks. I think it was normally on 3/4 tons or BB trucks... but I might be wrong. See Sig...

my '72 swb fs has no sway bar, and never did.

they should have been standard equipment. adding one to your truck is easy and one of the best mods. you can do for driving/handling....imo

My truck drives fine with out a sway bar. But I will say that I think that all trucks should come with a locking rear end. One wheel drive is worse than a truck that handles like a ............. well............... a truck.

Someone did a body off on my 69 truck. I lowered the front 2 and 1/2 inches. I also installed 22 inch wheels. I think they put the body on wrong. The right front wheel hits the top of the fender a little when I hit a hole, or make a fast sharp left turn. Will a sway bar stop the front end from dropping down will making a turn? Please email me at. gsgman2@sbcglobal.net

Sounds like you should have bought 20's

GRS,
Yes a sway bar will stop the body roll, but there are two types of kits, ones that bolt to the A arms and ones that bolt to end links from the A arms. I prefer the ones that bolt to the A arms. You can use ones from a 73+ and they bolt right in, just got to get the brackets off the frame then get the frame rivets off yours.
