P-30 Forward Control Sway Bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BobS · 01-31-2005, 02:07 AM

Anyone ever measured a rear sway bar from a 1-ton Forward Control? The manuals show a rear sway bar available on the 1-ton versions and I'm wondering if they share the 40-inch spacing for spring perches with other 1-tons. If so, that would mean their sway bars could possibly be used on C-30/3500s or 4X4s as a factory-looking modification.

I had my hands on one but was never able to grab it . I am pretty sure it'll bolt right on.

I assumed that one day and did grab one but never did even measure it. It's buried in a parts vehicle under snow for now. But I'll get around the checking it one day...I grabbed mine off and older forward control.. about a 1964. Never saw any newer yet that had one. Hmmm now that I think about it..there was a post about this before with pics... Ill check my picture pirate collection.
