Hot Rods Looking for a sway bar

My pal Dave,the owner of the 34-32 confused pickup,called me tonight asking me if I knew of a manufacture of a bolt on sway bar.

In the test drive around the block the truck experienced some body roll and he cut up the right rear tire.

The truck has a triangular 4 bar and coil over shocks,he's a little bummed out and really needs to find a bolt on sway bar if it exist,he sure doesn't want to start grinding and welding on all the fresh paint.

I would appreciate any leads. HRP

 

Find an old 70's Ford Courier pickup. Their front sway bar is perfect for most pre-war cars. I put one on the rear of my '36 Willys & my '36 Pontiac Sedan. Bar is straight with splayed ends @ about 30deg but they can be bend in a press to straight back if necessary.

I know a few people that have used these guys, and have nothing but great things to say about them.

 

Thanks for the lead and I'll p*** it along but Dave is under the gun to finish the interior and correct this problem by next Saturday. HRP

 

Hellwig used to offer quite a lot of application specific, not sure about the early hot rods.

I have the exact same rear suspension on a 9", so I used the anti-sway bar off a mid 80's F-250. I harvested the bar, axle mounts and frame mounts for only $25.

I turned the frame mounts to bolt right on the '32 frame rails and then used some replacement short links with poly bushings from Auto-Zone. It fits perfect without modification.

It used to change lanes when I stabbed it, but now it goes straight as an arrow. Handles like a go-kart around curves.

 

I bought a Ford rear sway bar for my 78' Ranchero and it corners like a go-kart , along with the 50 series TA radials

 

I have never used a four bar, but isn't a panhard bar required?

 

If it is a parallel 4-bar, yes. Triangular 4-bar, no.

 

My black sedan has a torsion bar set up that I purchased from TCI years ago and it too handles like a slot car. HRP

 

Thanks for all the hints and advice,the urgency is a non issue now,Dave found water in the oil last night so taking the car to Kentucky ain't gonna happen this weekend. HRP

 

Also early 80s T bird has a good one. Rear bar that is.

 

I have been to a gay bar, a lesbian bar even a cowboy bar but I have never even heard of a sway bar. That's just weird man.

 

Damn Beeno,you get stranger every day!

I'm certain you have bellied up to the bar and frequented many a biker bar but what about a crow bar,piano bar or a sissy bar? HRP

 

...Or a Candy bar? Suh-weeeet...

 

A sway bar is another name for a Swisher Bar, and that is code for Gay Bar ~ If you're into that sort of thing.

Now as for an Anti Sway Bar ~ I would go with TCI's set up.

 

Damn Don,
I have been away from home long.

@HOTRODPRIMER My favorite is a salad bar.

 

Oh yeah,I didn't even think of the one and only Candy Bar! hubba,hubba. HRP

Both Ch***is Engineering & Paul Horton sell universal anti-sway bars.

Also, don't rule out a front anti-sway bar. While the rear is critical, the front ones help also. If he has a dropped axle, Ch***is Engineering makes a bolt-on kit and I can attest it works well on my I-beam.
