Front Sway Bar is in.

[MadMaxetc]

I got the front sway bar in yesterday. It handles much better on the road now. It makes the wind less of a factor too.

I will post some picture latter.

I orderd the wrong bushings...to tall and the diameter was to big. I modified them to fit for now. They are only $20 so I will order them again, no big deal. The extra parts will be used for my traction bars.

where did you get it , how much, how did you install and where are the pics!!!

thats good. i didn't think that bar would make that kind of a difference in the wind.

Sweet! Ya, a sway bar is one of the best/ easiest upgrades in my book. I just used a stock one from a '75 F150 2wd.

I got it from Fordman...78 F250? It is the front one.

Pics will be this weekend...to cold and dark now.

That's cool, i thought dentside swaybars didnt fit because their frames were wider but i guess thats only the rear swaybar that doesnt fit. Ill have to grab one at the junkyard next time
So if i want to put one on my 69 f100, i just find any dentside f100/f150 that has a swaybar on the front?

[mrtleavitt]

Any denside will work. The front ends are all the same. F250s were the most common to have a sway bar.

You have to use the Dent radous arms too because they have the knotch for the bracket...

You will see when you go to take the one in the yard off.

and i just finished applying por-15 to mine
oh well. thanks

I installed a sway bar with my original '69 radius arms. I took a small grinder and notched the radius arms just like the donor vehicle and it works just fine. I liked the looks of the older style radius arms, then your por-15 work didn't go for nothing.

I jacked a sway bar off...

Thats dirty

BURN!

I put an Addco sway bar on my 71 F100 about 10 years ago and wouldn't take it off for anything. I think that was the best mod I ever did to my truck. Made it handle 100% better.
1st time I drove it I thought I was in a sports car. Well, OK. Maybe a new truck at least.
