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 pass 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 Chassis 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, Chassis Engineering makes a bolt-on kit and I can attest it works well on my I-beam.
