Can somebody get some pics of factory sway bar bracket shape for 68-72 C10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think the prior owner of my 1968 Chevy C10 SWB had most likely bumped into something with one or both of the front factory sway bar brackets and may be bent. Could somebody post some pics of factory sway bar brackets that are good and not bent or altered.

If one or both are bent I would like to try and bend it back into original shape like factory.

Common problem. Should be obvious if bent. The bracket that bolts to the frame has a surface where the bushing strap holds the bushing in place. This area should be parallel with the ground. If not, it is bent.

Ill grab them in a minute, I re-did my bushings this year so the goo is even wiped off (LOL)

Here you go. I even flipped the truck upside down for that last one so you could get a better angle

no extra charge, its a feature!

Thanks for posting these pics. They really helped me today as I got the bracket straightened and looking good!
