Sway bar

I installed a sway bar on my 69. It is a 1 and 1/4 inch bar. From Early Classic.
Wont know how it works until the snow melts.

Re: Sway bar

That is one massive sway bar. Your truck is going to corner like it's on rails!

Re: Sway bar

I noticed a big difference when I put the 1 1/16" bar on my C/10. You should be impressed.

Re: Sway bar

I installed my sway bar the other day too, I believe it is 1-1/4, I got it from the salvage yard off of a 73+ 1 ton. I think I need to trim the ends just a little so they don't hit my airbags.

I used the ECE stands too.
