Rear sway bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased a used rear sway bar from a board member for my 69 C-10. I can't figure how to install. Does anyone have a picture or drawing of the proper procedure? The truck has rear coil springs and is a short step side.

There are numerous ways, depending on the bar. Probably should give more detals about it...or better yet, a picture.

The bar is in the sape of a long D, with flat ends that have holes in them. It came with two bolts about 10 inchese longs that have sleeves, and two U shape brackets that have rubber bushings inside. I assume the flat ends hang from the long bolts, but there is no place to attach the bar and U brackets. Have any of these attached to the shock mounts? I'll try for a picture.
