Oem help

Any help with finding out sway bar diameters for C/10 2wd 1/2 truck with drum brakes? Or end links length? Trying to order some new parts from POL. Thanks in advance.

Re: Oem help

Are you referring to stock sway bars?

Theses are not the measurements for the stock factory sway bars on 67-72's.

Re: Oem help

Nor do they have end lengths that you can measure. The bar uses frame style mounts on the factory sway bar mounts AND it uses frame style mounts on the control arms for the bar.

Re: Oem help

Great post here on the front bar and installion.I could be wrong but I do not think there was rear sway bar option from the factory on 67-72's.

Re: Oem help

Thanks guys. I am referring to stock sway bar and end links. I was trying to order some bushing from POL and asks for bar diameter and end link lengths...and the biggest offered is 1".

Re: Oem help

I have a 1972 GMC C15 and the stock front sway bar is 1 1/16".

I upgraded the bushings to urethane from Energy Suspension. Kit came with the clamp housings, bolts, bushings and grease.
