1952-59 Ford Rear sway bar

Anyone running one? What brand?

 

watching...

 

Larry's has one but the very vague instructions on their site don't tell me what I need to know. They said they ship directly from the manufacturer so they cant look at one and get me measurements and did not volunteer where they come from. For $300 and shipping I dont want to gamble on it.

 

My wager is that they're coming from Lance Herrington at Thnunderbird Southwest (?) in Texas.

 

Check with NASCAR Dave, he may have some info on sway bars for you.

 

I believe that Dave is no longer in the business.

 

Got parts from here, for my 64 wagon. Reasonable. Worked good

Concours Ford used to list front and rear for the '57 to '59. Maybe give them a try. Thunderbird SW had my front bar. They have stuff in stock that is not on their site.

 

Thanks for the tip Abe, I will check that out.

 

Bob I cant recall what Conours said but that was a dead end.

 

Quickorgarage is no longer apparently, phone disconnected. Bob I remember that Concours could provide me no info as to what theirs might look like and no instruction info either.

I just ordered an Addco #2147 which they list as a 55-57 Mercury. The measurements they provided tell me it should work fine. Won't ship untill August, I was hoping to have installed prior to a trip to Des Moines the first weekend in July. I will report back once I receive it.

 

Well sorry. Glad you tried though. Maybe got bought out. Been years. please report back when you do install. Maybe do some tight turn, skid testing with videos!

 

Dave still posts here from time to time, maybe look him up and use the "Conversation" link.

Tried to call Jeff but phone no work is.

 

Thanks Jeff. I did have a conversation with Dave and he fixed me up. I canceled the Addco order. Should have the bar in a few days.

 

So what did you order?

 

I ordered one from Dave. He is not really in business but acts as a middle man for a friend who builds them. Hope that is what you are asking.

 

Could you post Dave's contact info so a member wanting a sway bar could get one ?

 

Jeff your advice to contact Dave thru a conversation on here is what worked for me. Since he is really not in business anymore I don't feel comfortable posting his number. Best to start a conversation with him I think.

 

I used a 1979 Ford Thunderbird rear sway bar in my 53 Mercury.
