Sway bar in local yard (Portland) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brad · 02-08-2006, 06:36 PM

I just went to the U-Pull-It on Foster Rd and there's a 1-ton dually with a big fat 1-1/4" sway bar on it. I didn't really want to get greasy and take the time to pull it off, not knowing if I could sell it but hopefully someone local can use it.

I might be interested in it depending on price and shipping!

I think this was a friendly "if you need this part and live in the area... this is where it is at, pull it yourself" announcement.

The big 1 1/4" bars are the thing to have. Plants the front end real nice. Get new bushings from any of the board vendors and you can "slice and dice".

I agree and 73-87 3/4 and 1-tons are 1 1/4 and work on our trucks.

Sweet!! I'm going shopping for cheapo upgrades for my 67!! Anyone have any info on a junk yard rear sway application for a leaf spring rear?

Yep, she looks like one tough cookie. Probably could pull more than just that sway bar too.

As far as I know aftermarket bars are the only option for 12-bolt leaf spring rears. A number of the board vendors have them.
