71 chevy C20 Camper Special anti-sway bar fit 72 C10?

I saw a 1971 Chevrolet C20 Camper Special 2wd at the local scrap yard and was wondering if the anti-sway bar on it would go onto my 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super and if it was different?@!?@?@ I know that there are many suggestions as to adding anti-sway bars and do not even know if my pickup has one, but I noticed that the camper special had one and was going to get it..........

Anyone be able to offer some advice...

thanks much for any help

Matt

Yes, they bolt straight in place on your 1/2 ton. If you will go to the FAQ section of this board, I wrote an article outlining the whole deal a few years ago.

OK, so I looked under my pickup and I already have a sway bar, but it looks to be of the smaller variety. Would upgrading to the 1 1/4" bar be worth it?

Not in my eyes it isn't. Your factory bar should be a 1 1/16 size, the biggest ones are just 1 1/4. That's a lot of expense for not a lot of increase.

What do you think about converting 70 suburban drum brakes over to disc? Is it worth it?
