Front end sway bar?

I know it's stock for 72 but the PO installed it. I guess to help the front end wobble. Has anyone put one on? and did it work?

Thanks

Re: Front end sway bar?

Looks like a factory set up from a newer square body truck. Pretty common handling upgrade on these. The setup gets sold from time to time in the parts section for this exact purpose.
I am assuming you meant to say it isn't stock.

Re: Front end sway bar?

I put one of these setups on my 72 jimmy. Have not got it on the road yet but the intallation was pretty straight foward. Check out this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...way+bar&page=5 My setup is in Post 119

Thanks guys, I thought aftermarket because it fit real well.

Jeff, thanks for the correction I did mean " isn't " I guess I was thinking faster than I type.

I put one on my 71 K5. Huge improvement in stability and drivability. If I were you I would leave it on there.
