Re: 66 chevy rear sway bar

What are you using your truck for? Did you update your trac-bar when you lowered your truck? Check this setup out: http://www.porterbuiltfabrication.co...e-Trac-Bar-149

I was reading through other builds and saw this. I don't think there is any specific way to mount these sway bars as long as the end state is the same.
