bagged 68 sway bar?

[Wscott9689]

i have a 68 thats bagged and i need to add a sway bar and i need some opinions on which one to get and if need the lowering brackets or will stock style work? it is not originally equipped with one. the lca's have been cupped with 8" pipe otherwise stock for now. any ideas? stock or aftermarket bar?

All you need is a stock bar from any C-10 from 67-87 (up to 91 on Burbs). If you want to step up to a bit beefier bar find one from a C-20 instead. Since you are bagged you can bolt the bushing clamps directly to the frame.

if he bolts it directly to the frame, does he still need to take out the lower rivets on the frame?

i got to thinkin and i think i may not be able to put the sway bar back in the original place on the control arms bc i think i may have cut out part of or one of the holes it mounts in. i wasnt even thinkin about what those holes were for when i cut them. im gonna get it up on the lift this weekend and check it out for sure. if i did cut em, anybody got any ideas?

The rivets from the OE installed sway-bar stanchions/stands? If so, yes.

If you did, you could weld studs where the hole should be...you should have enough room for that with your bags. You could mount the sway to the frame and then see where it ends up on the lca so you know where to mount the studs. Just make sure you do this at ride height since I've read that matters.
