frame brackets for sway bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

robby · 02-24-2003, 12:05 AM

I need both of the riveted on frame brackets for my 70 C10. I can get a sway bar easy enough but the frame brackets are a pain to get off without a torch. I bet someone out there has a torch close to a 67-87 two wheel drive pickup with a bar and would "smoke wrench" em off for a reasonable price. Anyone? I would like to make this upgrade on my 70.
Thanks

i used a drill and a chisel to get mine off the donar truck in the bone yard. didnt take that long after i drilled the heads of the rivits 2-3 times and chiseld off the head.

I bought mine new from GM. I think I paid $20.00 each in Canada.

ECE, Early Classic Enterprises sells these brand new and also offers a "lowered truck" version. Pretty cheap too.

Angle grinders and a flat headed punch work wonders. A good investment to carry with you to the boneyard is a chordless angle grinder and a couple of batteries...at least that's how I take them off...

Robby,

I found them. They still have 1 1/8 bushing and brakets on them. Need your email to send pic to.
