My 65 has them. I used a sway bar from a 72 Cheyenne Super. Best upgrade you can do next to an HEI.

Re: sway bar bolt holes in a arm???

For those without the holes and looking to add a sway bar, its not a hard process to install one though. I installed a factory sway bar on my 63. Took about two hours start to finish by myself. I purchased the frame mounts from CPP, used grade 8 bolts and had measurements from a member with one installed.

They are factory 60-68 gm hooks. They used the same hooks on all their models....from 1/2 ton - 2 ton.
