Anyone have detailed pics of a rear swap bar setup w/trailing arms? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to run a rear sway bar on my 85 when I swap in the 67-72 trailing arm rear suspension, so I'm looking for any good pics you might have to help me see how well a 67-72 sway bar setup will install in the 85.

Thanks!

Great pics Rob, thanks!! I couldn't remember exactly how those went together. Looks like I might need to do a little fab work or mods to the frame mount, but that's all. It that an ECE kit?

This setup "clips" to the trailing and to the frame, no drilling required. I'm not sure who makes it, as it was on a project truck I bought and I just tranferred it over to the Crew. Frizzle Fry used a 90's something Camaro rear sway bar on his Tahoe project. It worked out pretty well also, but some fabrication was required.

Bob, I'll have my truck at work tomorrow if you want to come by and take a closer look at mine.

Good memory Rob. I also ended up removing it due to suspension travel limitations. It was great for coils, but not good for bags.

This is what I followed, and uses a camaro sway bar: sway bar thread

I followed the way Andy4639, post #10, did it

Thanks for all the links and info guys!

Chris - I have my truck over at Rich's getting brakes done. I'll swing by on the way home if you are there. Or, if you somehow see this before you leave, swing on by. That pic is money too, that's what I was mostly wondering about.

I'll come by after a little while Bob, I've got a slow day going.....as you can see!
