1969 K10 front sway bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone out there installed a front sway bar on their K10 with a Dana 44 in the front? I have a 1978 truck and it drives much nicer with the sway bar.

I installed one on my 1971 K10. Not sure if there are any frame differences between the two years.

I went to a junk yard and took one from a square body including the frame brackets. (Hammering the rivets off was a pain . . . . ) It turns out swapping the frame brackets to opposite side and a little trimming they fit my 71!

I can take a few pictures if you would like. Doug

I would be interested in seeing the pictures of how installed it.

Youd also need the spring plates that the sway bar fastens to

If you follow this thread starting at post #277 you can see how I did mine. I use the parts from a square body, but kept my original front cross member, and modified the brackets to fit.
