REAR Anti-sway Bars - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chewed 71'er · 05-03-2003, 02:23 AM

Does any vendor offer a rear anti-sway bar set-up for our trucks? Was this ever a factory option? I have a 71 half-ton, long bed with coil springs.

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 05-03-2003, 09:35 AM

We have the rear in our online catalog suspension section.

Where does that bad boy mount up to?
Pictures possible?

Mothertrucker.. What brand do you cary? How does it mount?

Here's a pic of the sway bar I installed several years ago:
Sway bar. Try to ignore the rust and dirt...

I don't remember what brand it is, but I got it from PST when I rebuilt my suspension.

Iron-Butt · 10-10-2003, 11:51 PM

how much shipped to 77449. can you send pics

**N2TRUX** · 10-11-2003, 12:11 AM

It was never an option on a 1/2 ton "pick-up". It was available on Suburbans, and dually's though...

MR. GOODWRENCH · 10-17-2003, 08:16 PM

Here is mine,it is an ADDCO brand.

Iron-Butt · 10-18-2003, 05:10 AM

where did you get it from?

MR. GOODWRENCH · 10-18-2003, 06:54 AM

It came from Brothers,about 2 years ago.

jcab · 10-23-2003, 11:00 PM

Someone posted about a way to adapt a camaro rear sway bar as well. Might be a cheaper option if you can find one. You can do a search to find out what year of camaro would work.

Hope this helps.

**basketcase** · 04-12-2004, 02:38 AM

There was a link posted on here to a site that gave the whole installation process with pics. I lost the link but I'm fairly certain it was a '88 Camaro bar and was basically a bolt on. Anyone still have the link?

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 04-12-2004, 09:44 AM

Ours are the ADDCO sway bars .

dubie · 04-12-2004, 10:18 AM

I have one to install on my 67 that came from an 82 Camaro. All you need to do is make a 1/2" spacer on each side of the mounts and it bolts right up. I haven't installed mine yet, but I found out about this swap from Low69CST. He has a step by step install documented on his website

8t5Silverado · 04-13-2004, 02:02 PM

Will an 80's Camaro sway bar bolt on to a 73-87 truck with leaf springs?

**basketcase** · 04-13-2004, 02:26 PM

Thanks Dubie. That's the link I was looking for.
