Hello!

I just purchased a front sway bar set-up from a panel that I hope to adapt to my 1946 1/2-ton pick-up. The mounting to the front axle/springs is quite obivous, but I am not sure how the bar is mounted to the frame using the brackets provided.

Could anyone out there who has a panel with a front sway bar take a few reference photos for me? If so, please send them to [email protected]
Thanks in advance

Randy, I am not sure if the shop repair manual has much info in it or not but I do know the assembly manual does. It may be worth the $25 bucks to purchase one.....but in the meantime see if you year is in the online manuals here.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

What year of panel is the sway bar from ?
Might help to determine if it will work.

Original had a stud coming off the chassis, slightly ahead of the shock, this then had a bushed bar that joined the two.

Better off to get a sway bar from CPP and bolt it on to front beam, drill 3 holes in chassis - jobs a good un !

Tightens the front end up nice - does squeek a bit though !

Is this from a 55-59 Panel?

If it is and you end up not using it I would be interested in buying the Bushed Bar and Pins that connect the Sway Bar to the Chassis.
