Okay, so I'm looking through this catalog of truck parts, and while gazing at a suspension picture, I realize that I am looking at a part that my truck doesn't have! My 65 C10 came to me with the stock drum brakes all around, and I would imagine that a sway bar wasn't all that necessary with them, but I'm converting my front end to disc. Do I need to look into this?

Thanks as always,
Randy


If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect, then what's the point of practicing???

They really help in cornering. One from a 67-87 C10/20 will fit no problem, cheap in the boneyard. Brian

I bolted a sway bar into my 66 GMC.... don't remember if i had to drill holes or not... it seemed to corner a bit better tho, and not sway so much on the freeway...


Another quality post.

Well! "Get 'em" seems to be the concensus here, so I think I'll look into it! My A-arms are already drilled for it so why not! Thank for the opinions, folks!
