60-62 front swaybar anyone??

[doobiebro]

I see a lot of threads on sway bars for the 60-66 trucks but I havent found the answer I need. I have seen that LMC offers perfomance bars for 60-66, Early Classic Enterprise, CPP and other vendors have them for the 63-66 and also have seen the diff salvage yard finds. I have read the awsome write ups on this discussion from TX firefighter, Woogeroo and other members but does anyone have them on a 60-62 front torsion bar suspension?? My truck has CPP dropped 3"/4" suspension with a p/s upgrade. Does any body have any imput or some pics on their 60-62 trucks. Thank you guys in advance...

I have one in the works. I have the second prototype from my supplier, and am waiting for the hardware package from them.
I'm planning on having them available in the summer.

Sure do!
I'll be happy to send you some. They'll come in a big box with a fairly large piece of steel bar, some nuts, bolts, bushings...

Many years ago I took a somewhat different approach. I happened to have a Mustang II front sway bar left over from a project I lost during a divorce. It came from RB’s Obsolete, and was the same as a stock bar, except the dip in the middle was eliminated for a street rod installation.

Although I probably could have done something more professional looking, the control arm brackets were simple U-bolt shackle plates from a tractor supply house bolted to the lower flange of the arms. In spite of how the arrangement may have looked, it worked perfectly for many years and made a big improvement in handling. These are the only photos I have, taken during the removal of the stock suspension.





The forward pivot bushings did not require frame brackets because the links at the control arms aligned the bar properly at normal ride height..
