Re: front sway bar
Made a huge difference (good) when I added one to mine.

Re: front sway bar
Yes! They can be found on many 73-87 trucks, 73-82 Blazers, and 73-91 Burbs. If you can grab one from a C20 it will be 1 1/8" rather than 1" like the C10's. The bars and bushing clamps are easy to snag. the clamp "stands" are riveted to the frame so they are harder to recover.
FYI- If your truck is lowered, Early Classic Enterprises sells a short stand, or if its really low you can bolt the clamps directly to the frame.
