Hello!

I have obtained a front factory sway bar from a Suburban, and I'm trying to adapt it to my 1946 pickup. I have a few questions, such as how do the brackets supplied mount to the frame, and where can I purchase new rubber isolators?

Is there anyone out there that has a stock sway bar on there truck that could help me out?

You need to identify the trucks involved. Chevy and GMC used different brackets for their sway bars because of the different crossmembers. I have a sway bar on my '45 GMC.

I have a stock sway bar with original brackets on mine, it's a '53. I don't know if they are the same as the '46s.

Randy, I'm using one of those off a panel on my 46 pickup and I'm sure I purchased new rubber parts. Don't remember whom right now, check ALL the vendors, Chevs of 40s, Filling Station etc.
Best of luck

And I hope you got ALL the factory mounts and brackets. And I have a couple pics in the computer if you send me a PM.

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

This is how the sway bar mounts on my 47.2 Panel, odds are the 47.1 and earlier body was the same.
