    Bob,
    Didn't you already go through this about a month back and get a bunch of suggestions, or was that someone else? I tried a search of all threads started but it only came up with this one, though 36 are listed....must be the new software? As I recall at least one guy pointed to Speedway for their Universal Swaybar Kit, but they also have other pieces and parts available. Swaybar - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop

    there are numerous trucks out there with housing mounted sway bars. simply take your frame measurement and find the right width. early ford 3/4 ton most likely. all it takes is a simple bracket on the frame and a long bolt and sleeve.

    Not a problem, just thought we'd already been down this path FWIW, I don't think you want to try to bend a sway bar into a custom shape, but I suppose you could heat it up, bend it to shape and then heat treat it again to get the stiffness back. Seems that finding an OEM that fits like Shine says, or using a kit with univeral arms is the easy way to go.
