Sway Bar

I am looking to add a Sway Bar to my 67 c10,

I have a friend that has a 1991, a 1997 and a 1999 CHEVROLET C2500 that I can have whatever parts I want off it them before they go to the junkyard. (I have not had a chance to go over yet to see what they look like. I will be going this weekend.)

Does anyone know if is worth trying to take the Sway Bar from either of the c2500s or will the modifications needed be to much to make it fit?

I think the previous owner installed tubular lower control arms on my truck, will this cause any additional issues?

Re: Sway Bar

MMMM, I would like to know if the GMT 400 front sway bars will work on our trucks.

Re: Sway Bar

After a simple Google search its looking like the GMT400 2wd front sway bars have tie bar links at the ends and aren't a direct "bolt in". You'd need to do some modifications to your LCA's, and since you have tubulars, not sure how much fab work would need to be done. Or maybe the tubular LCA's have provisions for links.
