Question on 66' swb track bar

I just lowered the rear end of my 66' swb fleetside. The track bar is now rubbing on the differential cover. How have you guys dealt with this? I'm going to get the longer bar but that don't change how far out it sits. Thanks

The bar has to be modified (bent) or an aftermarket one is needed...something along this line http://www.earlyclassic.com/catalog....tegory=panhard bars

I used CPP's adjustable straight bar on my project, nice part.

Do you have the part # for your Hotchkis Sway bar? Your set up looks really close to mine. How do you like that Moser diff cover? I ordered mine about a month ago but havent installed yet.

Sorry not sure on part # does require modification to stock 12 bolt housing on 64-66 C10's. When I got mine Hoshkis was unaware that it did not bolt right up. I had to modify the track bar tower that is welded to the axle tube

Diff cover is nice part, it is supposed to help support bearing caps, have not had a chance to hammer on it.
