Here’s pics of the front sway bar installed on my 68 C10 last weekend. I used an original C10 bar with CCP mounting brackets and poly bushings.

Thanks, I installed one back in the mid-90's on my 72 C20 that was 7/8" diameter. I been wanting to go to this larger bar. Looks like I will be talking to CPP for sure.

I installed a rear bar many years ago on a long bed truck that already had a front bar. The rear bar really made a difference in steering response and how flat the truck stays in corners. I mean, we're not talking Camaro, but it was a major improvement!

I re-installed my windshield wiper motor with a new washer pump. Kind of a PITA to get the three bolts started, but it all works great. BTW, Rock Auto had the lowest washer pump price by a large margin.

I used cowl-to-motor and shaft seals from GMC Pauls. They are first rate.

And this is a great tool for removing and re-installing the wiper arms. Lisle 65750, Dorman 49023

Thx Mike, yes I can feel the difference.
