Re: 71 C10 Sway bar?
Very easy, just get a sway bar from a 1973-87 C30, bar is 1 1/4 diameter,get some frame brackets,get a bushing kit from Rockauto with brackets,and bolt on, bolt holes are already in the lower control arms, you will have to grind 2 rivits of at the very front of a crossmember, but basically a easy bolt on project,I am going to be doing mine when I get back to my truck in April.

Re: 71 C10 Sway bar?
EZPZ...Holes are already in the frame and the lower control arms...Just locate the frame brackets https://westernchassisinc.com/1963-7...BRACKETS-PAIR/ the bar and bushings, https://www.classicparts.com/1967-91...ctinfo/74-841/ and 4 of these, https://www.classicparts.com/1967-91...ctinfo/74-831/ and 8 grade-8 3/8-16 bolts and your truck will steer like a new vehicle! Probably the most bang for the buck in a single upgrade. Get the "stock" brackets because they'll work for the lowered trucks as well. You simply run the bar "through" the brackets instead of under the brackets for a stock height application.
