Re: 4x4 sway bars
I have added a sway bar to my 72 K20 by taking all of the sway bar pieces off a 4x4 square body. That includes the u bolt plates, the sway bar, and the front crossmember (which has all of the goodies on it for the sway bar to mount to). Almost every time new bushings need to be ordered as the used bushings are usually worn out. Plus they are easy to replace while everything is apart. On my truck I removed the 72 cross member first. Then I installed the bar to the u bolt plate. Next I loosely fit the square body cross member into the frame. Then I attached the sway bar to the cross member. I made sure it was straight and drilled some holes in the frame, bolted it up and its ready to go. It ended up being approx. 3 1/4 inches from the front cross member bolt to the rear rivet on the leaf spring hanger. Measured center to center.
