| So I found a 78 ranchero at the junk yard and it still had the rear sway bar so I snatched it up to install in my 72. Problem is I didn't take any pictures on how its mounted. It will install either way I flip it. Or does it even matter?? If anyone has a stock sway bar can yall take some quick rear and side pictures. I would greatly appreciate it. |

Good pic CJ! Hopefully the OP got ALL the brackets/grommets(especially the front end links), the chassis brackets for the end links seem to be a 50/50 mix of either being welded on or bolted on(may be a "year" thing). The brackets can be fabbed up easily if they weren't able to be removed(welded on), which is what I had to do. ------------- www.supermotors.net/22468 Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires.

| That picture is perfect! just what I needed, thanks! I did snatch up all the brackets as well, they were just bolted on. I rebuilt the all the worn bushings with polyurethane as well, should be a nice addition. |
