Travis, front sway bar question

[68Timber]

I reread your build thread yesterday and in some progress pictures with the front bumper off I saw where you added one. The red bushings were obviously aftermarket, but what about the rest? If it wasn't OEM did it come with mounting hardware to the lower A-arms and front of the frame?

Thanks.

Yes the bushings are aftermarket, but the sway bar is stock. I just added some paint to it.

Bud, I was afraid you were going to say that. I don't have one and I need one. Square-body's are non-existant around here in the junkyard. LMC has the parts - separately - but last time I went to add them up I stopped real quick.

I'll have to start watching ebay. Thanks Trav.

It's a typical late-70's GM product. You can turn the wheel lock to lock with one finger. What it needs is a quick-ratio power steering box, a power steering pump that leaves some road-feel in the steering wheel, and a front sway bar to make the most of it.

It's certainly driveable as-is, but the over-boosted steering does bother me.
