Wanted 72 GMC Driver Frame Sway Bar Bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72GMCSierraGran · 11-04-2003, 01:42 PM

Hello to all. I recently purchased a 72 GMC Sierra Grande 3500 2wd pickup with the 402 B.B. and I am currently doing a complete rebuild on the front suspension. I found that my drivers side sway bar bracket on the frame is damaged and I need a new one. Does any one have one or know where to get a new one. The original part is riveted to the frame.

Thanks.

CPNE, thanks for the link and the awesome quick response. I will check it out and see if I can get it ordered from my local GM dealer.

dtlilly, thanks for the welcome. I am located in Spokane Washington. I think a picture of my truck is attached. I just bought it about two weeks ago from the original owner. It has 138K on it and the front end has never been rebuilt. It appears that the engine hasn't been touched either.

If the picture isn't available, let me know, and tell me what I may have done wrong.

Went to GM at lunch, found the part and bought it. Thanks for the number.

That's what we're all about here. I'd like to see more pics and details on your truck.

CPNE, So you want to know more about my truck eh? I only know the basics since I am still going through it and checking it out but here are the basics. I bought it from the original owner who took delivery in 1973. They special ordered it in 72, took delivery in 73 and they told me that it was titled originally as a 73 when they bought it. It was also purchased in Arizona for about 25 years and then the last 7 years or so in Washington. Most of the trim has been removed, I would guess because it was damaged and they didn't want to reinstall it. It has the original 402 with the TH-400 trans, posi, power steering and power brakes. It appears the truck has been repainted once and there is a lot of surface rust but there isn't any serious rust problems. It also has 138K miles on it. I have attached another picture of the engine compartment. That is about all I know about the truck right now. Again, thanks for the info and I will chat at you later.
