Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

I finished up my anti-sway bar this weekend...Well, kind-of.
It didn't seem stiff enough for me, so I ordered another piece of tubing.
A smaller diameter with a thicker wall so that I could insert it into the existing, and weld it on both ends, making the sway bar stiffer.
I bought a piece of 7/8" dia. x .187 wall to insert. On Saturday I welded it in, and it seems more like what I had originally expected.
Here are a few pics. Now I just need to remove & paint.

A pic with the truck aired-out.
Note: the sway-bar clears the driveshaft by less than 1/8" in the down position, and the arms clear the bed-wood by about the same.


Now a pic at ride-height.
NowI just need to remove & paint.


I decided that today was a good day to clean the old-girl up, as I think that it has been almost a year since the last bath...
Man, she looks sweet when clean!!!





Just chillin' in the driveway...




That is all that I got....Overall, a decent weekend. LOL!
