Rear sway bar for a 1 ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLAZERMAN · 02-22-2009, 08:19 PM

I found a good deal on a cab & chassis 14 bolt rear on Craigslist, went to take a look at it and it turns out this thing is a bolt in! I knew spring perchs would be correct but this came out of an 85 motor home and doesnt use the staggered shocks. Now for the cool part..this thing had a massive 1-3/4" sway bar and he threw it in the deal..all for 200.
I even got the frame brackets so all I will have to do is drill 8 holes for the brackets and its a done deal!

goodness that sway bar is huge, I screamed like a little girl when I saw it.

Did you need the engine hoist to get the swaybar out too? LOL..Pretty burly piece of steel !! St. Joseph, have you eaten at Barbosa's lately?

BLAZERMAN · 02-22-2009, 08:42 PM

The motor home looked to be based off the P-30 chassis so these may be on the chip and bread truck stepvans. I even snagged the tilt column but haven't looked it over to good to see how much different it is from our trucks.

So you know about Barbosa's

I eat at the one at I-29 and Frederick pretty often..but I really like the castle downtown..just havent made it down there in awhile.
Do you make it up here often?

Skirkpat · 02-22-2009, 09:22 PM

Love their food, I drive an hour both ways about twice a year!! I always eat at the Castle.

I almost had one off a '68 P-30. Then I stopped since there is literally no leaning in the back of my one ton int eh corners.
