Addco 239 rear sway bar?

[crakarjax]

Anyone use the Addco 239? I can't find install pics anywhere but it's listed as a 73+ Truck bar. I also can't find dimensions, anyone know how to locate sway bar dimensions by chance?

That bar is for a C30 leaf spring truck so I don't see it coming close to fitting a C10 coil spring setup. Addco does make a C10 rear bar part number part number 954. They also have a handling book you can down load that is a very good read. About a 100 pages. Look under the tech tab on there website.

I did order the handling book, in paper! I stare at a screen all day so paper is a nice change of pace. How did you know what the application was for that bar? Any way I can find out the spring rate?

I did spot that bar but the bar arms seem too short which makes me think it has a high spring rate. I'd have to mount it in a location not as designed because my truck is lowered and I think the short, straight bars would make that tough. I wish they would publish the specs on their bars!

You could call Addco on both the rate and the design of the C10 bar to see if it works OK with a lowered truck. I looked it up in the Addco catalog as the picture looked like a leaf spring bar for a top mount spring. They do a good job of matching there bars in sets front and rear. For what you are trying to do it would be a good option to get the pair. Also if you put a long panhard bar on the truck it really helps the roll center and made a big improvement in the handling on my 66.
