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

My truck doesn't have a factory sway bar. Do I need to torch some brackets off a truck at the wreckers, or is there a company that sells them?

look in the FAQ section and there is a tutorial. Good Luck !

A big hammer and pry bar usally work's but I think you can get them new from g.m. I can not seem to find the part# right now but if I do I will post it...

Go HERE for a swaybar FAQ I did awhile back. It answers all of the questions you asked. Has part numbers, pictures, everything.

Might be easier to buy some new ones. Early Classic Enterprises sells them for 19.00

My brackets from Early Classic Enterprises got here on Friday (pic above). Nice looking to me. I have the original ride height style brackets. I don't have the necessary tools with me (I'm at college; see where my priorities are, truck vs school) to get the brackets off of the donor truck at the junk yard.
Just grab all the stuff you can get off the truck, minus the bushings

because they will 99% be worthless!
I will be installing mine over Thanksgiving break, as soon as I can find some bushings, nobody carries them

Thanks for all the help guys - especially Tx Firefighter for all the great pics and part numbers.

Sometimes I feel that I have to do everything on my truck at once. You never know when you're going to go to a wrecker and spot something that you need. Knowing how I'm going to do this stuff ahead of time sure helps.
