Need Pics of rear sway bar

2-3 years ago I parted out an 88 F-250 that had a rear sway bar. I now want to install it on my 89. Does anybody have a pic of how the sway bar is installed?? It is the factory bar not an aftermarket one.
Thanks

This is the only pic I have of the rear. I did put longer links on it so it wouldn't try to break the speed sensor on the top of the rear housing every time it was up on the lift.

Here you can see how the sway bar mounts to the axle (there are u-bolts that go around the axle tube) and also on the left is the link that attaches to the frame:



Here is a pic of where the link on the side attaches to the frame:

Thanx - both of you. Got it mounted and snugged up. Could never have done it w/o the pics. jas88, I hope you address the front diff seal soon, if you don't you'll loose enough oil to wipe out the front bearing then have to rebuild the diff - Ask me how I know!

It's already been done (notice no spot on pavement below). The wetness you see is just left over from before. FYI that part is called the "pinion seal".
