Re: sway bar parts info ??

I pulled my bar from a 78 camper special and what I did was order a set of frame brackets from early classic enterprises (the lowered set for my truck) but they have stock height as well. For the bushings and straps you can get them from ECE also or head down to the parts store and order the bushings and straps for the year truck you pulled the sway bar off of. You will need 2 bushing and straps for the control arm mounting and 2 for the frame mounts. Add some grade 8 hardware and beer and your done.

i was going to get the bushings and brackets from ECE but i noticed they have 1-1/16 and 1-1/8 inch, nothing for a 7/8 inch bar

I purchased my bushings through summit racing. They have a good selection, and the bonus for me was there about a mile from my work.
