sway bar Q GMC vs. Chevy

I've read all over the net that AD chevy sway bars are different than GMCs. I have two Chevy bars and know what they look like but have never seen what a GMCs bar looks like. Does anyone have pics of the GMC bar so I know what it looks like incase I ever come across one?

Re: sway bar Q GMC vs. Chevy

The significant difference is in the frame mount parts. On a GMC they are angled while on a Chevy they are not.

Re: sway bar Q GMC vs. Chevy

There was a change in mounting between the early years and the later... I don't have any photos but if you posted unlabeled photos of what you have I could probably identify them.
