For the front sway you can seek out later model Torino/Montego/Thunderbird/Cougar.

Usually, 78 and 79 Thunderbirds had the thicker front sway as standard.

The 1 1/8" bar was the largest and came on most models but rarely. If you cannot find one feasibly you could ask Addco if they will custom make one for you. I got one made in the late 80's which is 1 1/4" thick, I should get it on my newer 73 this year; it might be too stiff.
