Rear Sway Bar

[f.monroe]

I was looking at an 86ish short step the other day and noticed a rear sway bar on it . It fit pretty well . I asked the owner about it and he said it was a front stabilizer bar from a mid 70's Camaro . He attached it to the rear axle with 3" muffler clamps and the factory mounts from the camaro and made his own link bars to attach it to the frame . It actually fit and looked the same width as a square body frame . It has a big dip for engine clearance so it cleared the rear diff pretty well also . Just a thought for anyone looking around a salvage yard that might want to try this on their truck . Seems like it would be cheap to try . If I come across a 70's Camaro/Firebird in a local yard , I will pick up the parts and let yall know how it works . The problem is that the yards around here are filled with only newer cars .
