Rear Sway Bar Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mike76251 · 04-17-2003, 05:24 AM

I was thinking about a bar for my '84 1/2 ton and need to know how close to the rear cover most of them run.
I had to relocate the spare and it is about two inches from the cover now.
Do these bars line up with the center of the cover or are they offset at all.
Thanks for any comments,
Mike

I'm not sure about where they line up at but if it helps i remember someone the oyher day showing taking a sway bar from a camaro and using it.You may want to try a search .It had plenty of pics with it.

Thanks much Guys,
I have about ten feet of hot-rolled steel laying out there.
It is just begging to be made into a bar.
It is 1 1/5" stuff.........I won't even have to heat treat it!
Oh well.....another project.
