Has anyone used the POL 65-72 C10 adjustable panhard bar from ebay for 52$
How is the quality? did it work well?

I actually just picked up one from POL in Corona today. I'll probably get around to installing it over the weekend when I do my axle swap. The quality looks really good and appears like it will be much easier to adjust.

I have one installed on my build. Long POL unit. https://www.performanceonline.com/19...-Bar-Trac-Bar/

I have gone to the long bar that runs to the trailing arm on both my trucks and like it more than the short one. It goes through less side shift as it travels and the lower roll center seems to help the handling. I do use my truck a lot as a truck so these features work better for me.

I am also going to the long bar, probably the porter bolt one. I have the stock replacement adjustable on now and need something else especially when I run lower than stock...

Here's the Porterbuilt one for reference on the '62

I'm wondering why 64 had a 27" bar and 65 and 66 had the 24" bar? I lowered my truck 4 or 5 inches cant remember in the back with springs. wouldn't lowering the truck make the bar need to be shorter?

**Clyde65** · 12-09-2016, 01:35 PM

Depends where it's connected at the axle I believe.

Kenfuzed · 12-09-2016, 03:55 PM

Mine is the shorter one on my 66. Already have it lowered 5" and the stock bar is only showing centering to be off by 1/2" so I picked up the adjustable version from POL so I can fine tune it some. It has driven fine for a while now without the adjustment but since I'm getting new wheels soon I figured it was time to get it set correct.

Regarding the original question, the quality looks good and these are their new larger diameter bar with the double adjustment ends so you don't have to take one end off to adjust... a plus for me since I'm lazy

Thanks Kenfuzed. I think I'm going to go ahead and get that one also. I haven't measured mine to see how far off it is.

I'm running the porter built one and can say for sure the ride was less bouncy. Nice heim joints and the quality of welds and grade 8 fasteners are top shelf. My 68 c10 is 4" lowered ece springs and 1" blocks, Monroe sense-a-trac shocks, shock relocators.
