WTB Rear Sway Bar 72 K5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a rear sway bar and brackets for a 72 K5. The ideal situation would be a bolt on that does not require any mods. Let me know if you have one or can recommend a source.

Thanks in advance.

Hellwig does have a kit for K10 and K20 trucks with leaf-springs, those are going to be the closest thing to a K5. Only issue of course would be the gas tank if the bar goes toward the rear of the truck. Might want to call Hellwig to find out.

Now you have me wanting to get prices on those for mine! I never would have thought that they had a kit for these old things. I hate how my Blazer rolls all over the place, this would be great!

Hey 69, the lady said Hellwig has discontinued the rear sway bar. I found one at Industries, but it is only 7/8".
