I'm guessing they used an endlink style bar (like you find on GM passenger cars), and used conventional frame mounts (like stock with some bracket) and then picked an endlink approx. the correct length (so the bar end mounting hole is approx. parrallel to the ground with weight on the vehicle. This''ll be the hardest hunt unless you find a full list with dimensions). If I remember right, there is a hole in the truck lower control arms to accomodate an end link (once again, just like the passenger cars). Measure the distance between those holes (and see how much space you have to make a hole inboard & outboard from that that still provides room for the bushing), and measure how far back the bar needs to be where it mounts to the frame, and then go start measuring junk yard sway bars.
