Re: Rear Sway Bar?

My truck has a 1980 Camaro Z28 front clip so it came with the 1 1/4" front sway bar. I did go to polyurethane sway bar to frame saddle bushings. I had to use upgraded saddles to support the new style bushings of which didn't have the same bolt spacing to the frame so after some fabrication, it's all fitted and works great.

Now the rear was a universal kit said to fit the 57 rear. It may be the same as TX3100Guy already tried. As soon as I saw the lack of space for the bar to fit my mind goes into fabrication mode, got my most comfortable creeper, (didn't have a lift at that time), sway bar in one hand and tape measure in the other, I had to made all the mounting points.

I was fortunate to tackle this before painting so my options were wide open for welding if needed.
