Re: anyone have pics of rear sway bars
use a 1980's Camaro rear bar from the yard, and make spacers for the frame mounts, as the Camaro frame is about 3" wider if I recall. If so, then you'd have to make 1-1/2" spacer blocks on each side. These are said to fit much better than even aftermarket models intended for our trucks, ESPECIALLY if lowered in the rear.
If you get a big IROC bar or one of the real fat ones, you will definitely need a REALLY big bar in front or else you will have oversteer/understeer issues for sure. Look for the smaller rear bar if you don't want to upgrade your front. |

Re: anyone have pics of rear sway bars
The aftermarket rear swaybars for the '60-'72 trucks mount to the trailing arms and then link to the frame. Sorry I don't have any pics, I haven't got mine installed yet. If you want to upgrade or just add a bar to your front any front bar thru '87 will work, but the 3/4 ton camper specials and 1 tons had a larger 1 1/4" bar.
