Hey, got a question, how would an anti sway bolt up on my posie front leaf springs w/ just 2 leafs on a 53 chevy half ton? I have no experience with a sway bar install. Are they designed to fit only the original leafs? I want one and if one bolts right up to my mostly original front suspension, I want it.

A sway bar bolts to the axle and the frame, not to the springs.

The ant-sway bar I got from CPP came with brackets that are sandwiched between the axle and spring. The sway bar then mounts to the bracket. Because of that, it doesn't matter how many springs you have. If you ad a sway bar you'll love the improvement.

Jorb,
Hopefully, Bill's has more than 1. I purchased that one.
Unless you don't care about period correct, the after market sway bars are a little
thicker and my guess, perform better.
Also a thumbs up to Bill's, no issues what-so ever!!
