You obviously don't corner very hard, your sway bar will greatly assist you in this. It will stop the truck from rolling in a hard corner

I know Earlyclassic.com has a lower sway bar bracket set for the 67-72 trucks - they may have them for your truck as well.
Also try Classic performance - http://www.classicperform.com/

You took off your front sway bar and can't feel a difference?
That is the first time I've heard anyone say that

I have also seen guys take the sway bar frame bracket off and bolt the front bushings and clamps straight to the frame rails.

I've done it on both my 68 & 74. I just don't see the need in those 'lowered sway-bar' type brackets when you're dropping it alot & mine are both 5/7" drop (they might be ideal for a mild 2~3" drop).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
