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.


Alex.
Yep.

There are the holes for the OE truck style mounting link (2qty 3/8"). I've seen those used or a bracket fabricated off the vertical portion of the arm as well depending on what end links are chosen.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
