Looking for 1 1/4inch front swaybar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toddtheodd · 08-02-2004, 06:40 PM

I'm looking for a 1 1/4 inch front swaybar for my 72 c/10. Preferably in the DFW area.

stelth2002 · 08-02-2004, 06:56 PM

Good luck finding the 1.25 inch sway bar.... ive found 3 1.125 bars in the last year around here.

toddtheodd · 08-02-2004, 07:06 PM

Well I know from Tx Firefighter that I can use the swaybars between 67 and 87 so that should help me out a little. (In fact maybe I should post this on the 73-87 parts section)

You might try looking for 3/4 t big block Suburbans in the junk yard. Thats where I found mine. A guy near me was parting one earlier this summer that had the large sway bar, but he had it towed off a few weeks back.

dmec · 08-02-2004, 07:46 PM

how much are those things going for?

Tx Firefighter · 08-02-2004, 07:54 PM

Mine came off a 3/4 ton truck. It's the one that I did the Swaybar FAQ thread with.

68 Suburban · 08-02-2004, 08:00 PM

I purchased mine for $50.

toddtheodd · 08-02-2004, 08:06 PM

I can see that those two are a little different in the way the bars end. How does that affect installation.

68 Suburban · 08-02-2004, 08:08 PM

The black one is aftermarket, but was made for our trucks. Installation was a breeze.

try early classics enterprises. that's were i got my brand new one for my 68 chevy.

Currently, I have three 1 1/4" bars. I got all of them off 73-87 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I was not planning on selling one but after buying back to school supplies for my four kids, I could use all the extra funds I can get. I would be willing to sell one for $45 (bar only). Shipping to Ft Worth would be under $20. I also have a set of Energy Suspension sway bar bushings (black with caps) that I would include for an extra $25. Let me know if you are interested.

chassispro · 08-03-2004, 08:22 AM

JJR, I sent you a PM.

stelth2002 · 08-03-2004, 11:34 AM

PM also sent

toddtheodd · 08-03-2004, 12:07 PM

Nice of everybody to let the person who originally made the post say if he wanted it or not before trying to get it for themselves.
JJR, I appreciate the offer. PM sent.

Looks like one of the bars and the bushings are going to toddtheodd. If the sale falls through I will re-post. I am willing to sale one more sway bar (bar only) for $45. I need to keep one for my brother-in-laws truck. I currently have a interest in the bar and was asked by another to post a pic. This is a pick of a bar I sold on E-Bay last year. I don't have a good set of mounting brackets anymore. The bars I am selling will be cleaned and painted black with rustoleum spray paint.

stelth2002 · 08-03-2004, 12:26 PM

I'll opt out for toddtheodd. Anyone else have one?

JJR · 08-05-2004, 07:47 AM

Todd, as requested, here is a pic of the bar and bushings.

toddtheodd · 08-05-2004, 08:23 AM

Thank you sir. Looks great. Can't wait to hit a turn after installing it
