Re: Front sway bar search for stock 66 - going to try salvage- what to look for?
Definitely grab the 1 and a quarter inch bar. I got one off a squarebody 3/4 ton in a u pull it type yard. You will want to take all 4 of the clamps with bushings that the bar uses. Keep the old bushings to use while you mock the bar up. That's what I did, and the new bushings that I put on fit great.
I also had to get some frame stands to mount the front of the bar to the frame. If you have something to remove the rivets on the truck in the junkyard, you could do that, but if not, you can get new frame stands from a few vendors. I went with stock height stands because I'm still at stock height.
Check out page 3 of my build thread to see how I installed mine. Yours will be easier to install since you should already have the LCA holes drilled from the factory. My 63 LCAs didn't have the factory holes
