Can a sway bar from 71-72 be installed in a 66?

I've got a sway bar I removed from either a 71 or 72 C10 and was wondering if I could install it in my 66?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

Yes. The rivets on the 66 will need to be removed but shouldnt be any problem, I have the same on my 65

I have one on my '66. Picked up the rubber bushings at Autozone. Measure the bar for diameter to get the correct set.

The front sway bars from '63-'87 C10, C20 and C30 trucks, Suburbans and Panels will all interchange.

That's great information. My '79 Suburban donor truck has a nice fat bar up front, and I was really hoping it would fit on the '64.
