is it bad that my sway bar is missing?
 

ya i have a 72 chevy 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive custom deluxe, and it have the brackets for a sway bar but the bar isnt there, should i get on for it or is it ok to leave it alone? im not the man on suspension so i thought id ask some of the more expierienced guys! thanx alot

its ok to leave it off but if it was on it would handle better in corners

Lots of trucks came without them. I put on on mine a couple of yrs ago.

"Sway bars" were an option on 67-72 trucks.
And YES they do make a big improvement in the cornering.

if you are stock height on suspension,the sway bar will improve cornering. if the truck is lowered,you dont need it.....I tossed the one on my longhorn(excess weight),but its low enough that it corners flat........69 longhorn.

My 72 doesn't have one on it, and it tilts quite a bit on corners. If I was to buy a used swaybar, what should I be looking at? I have heard that any swaybar from 67-87 are all the same. Is this true? And, will it bolt right up with no troubles? I would sure love to have some better handling.

yes any bar from 67-87 will work....
look for the bars on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks sense they are bigger
