My question is was that previous bar similar to the current bar you're trying to install?
Were the end link bushings the same style as the frame mounting bushings?
Were there frame stands that the bar mounted to or was the previous set-up (that you sold) bolted directly to the frame?
These 63-87 C10 trucks had the factory sway bars mounted to factory attached frame stands & used the same bushing arrangement @ the frame & control arm pivot points. We need to understand what you likely had vs. what you're trying to put in. Knowing that info might shed insight on the differences you're experiencing.

Looked at some old photos, appears it was mounted to a raised standoff, and more forward, on a bracket-plate. This is the only picture I could find.
Guess I will have to look for an aftermarket sway bar.
