What to replace panhard bar stud with? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Joe67 · 07-02-2005, 12:16 PM

I am running the ECE super track bar on my '67 project.
What are you guys using to replace the stud that sits on top of the rear axle?

I'm thining a small stainless bolt/nut combo or just painting it black to match and leaving it empty...

Depends on how much work you want to do. I would looke nice if you filled the hole with a piece of bar and JB Weld. Then smooth it all out and paint it.

I left the bolt in cut it off and ground it smooth

get something like an 8ball or flaming eyeball and screwit in place

Just cut it off & slick it out w/the rest of the rear housing.

I like the ideas, but considering the suspension setup I'm running, nobody would be able to see any of those creative ideas anyway...

if that's the case WHY waste time worrying about what to do with it ????????????????????????

Because it looks like shnye with a big gaping hole there,

all those ideas are cool but like he said , its too low too really see what hes got there , and there is no room for an 8 ball of skull the super track bar runs too close to the diff.
