Re: It's my turn, 47 S10 build

The front sway bar was the next thing I worked on. I was trying to get stuff mocked up while the front sheet metal was off. With the 4 inch frame mod a third gen Camaro sway bar just fit in place. 3 inches would have
Made it line up perfect but it clears and I think it will be fine. I got lucky at the you pull it and there was a 90s formula firebird with a 36mm hollow front sway bar. Works out well as the front sway bars on 07 and up suburbans are also 36mm and the mounts on those are a little better.
So the suburban sway bar mounts and bushings combined with some 2 1/2"x3/8" strap for the frame mounts were tacked in place. I drilled and tapped them first for 3/8". Studs ended up being used just to make it easier. Standard sway bar end link bushings were used with a custom length sleeve. I fully welded the mounts in later when the chassis was at work.
