factory sway bars on a 71 3/4 ton?
 

I got an amazing deal this week.I bought a 1971 longbed fleetside 3/4 ton.Got it for 500 and a old 350 motor I had.Some spark plugs and wires,fresh gas and I drove it home.It runs like a dream and floats down the road.The build sticker is still on the glove box and all thats listed is there.Here are my Q's.

Did these trucks come with sway bars or are these after aftermarket?The A/C is not stock but the owner told me the dealer put the air in it.Did they have a underdash aftermarket A/C the dealer installed? The darn thing still works. The locker rearend is still tight and the turn signals still cancel.Do you guy's think I got hurt?I tried to scan a pic for you but it came out black and white.I'll try again.Its white now but the sticker said it came Hugr orange and white.This was a bad truck in its day.:bowtie:

A front sway bar came on from the factory.

You drove a $500 truck home and wonder if you got scammed? Sway bars were factory optional, but should be listed on the glove box sheet if factory equipped.

And yes on dealer installed A/C
i agree, you did not get ripped...drove it home for 500 bucks. @ of my 3 were right at about 1000 bucks each, one was towed..the other shoulda been. ;)

My 71 3/4 ton has the front massive sway bar and the rear coil leaf spring combo so your is probley factory.:bowtie:

Thanks for the info.I checked the build sheet and the bars are not listed,non the A/C.There probley JC W's and ons.I'm trying to post some pics of my babys but my scanner only saves the file in Black and white. Any Ideas?

It came stock with a front sway bar. Its a 3/4 ton.

Where does everyone find these deals!! Man I cant even buy a truck with a motor for 500 bucks around here anymore

Thats $500 US. Its the same as about $14,000 in Canadian money ;-)

Go to Everett, WA, dime a dozen there...

MikeP...not all 3/4 tons had them...they were still an option.

Not on mine. It may have been combined with some other option package such as "HD rear coils" or "custom package" but no where on the options sheet is the sway bar mentioned.
