Sway Bar Sizes

I have an 81 F-250 4x4 that I am replacing the sway bar bushings on. When I measure the dia with my calipers the front is measuring around .96 inches and the rear is measuring 1.15 inches.

I can only find listings for 7/8 or 1" bars, would .96 be considered an 1" or 7/8" bar. How about the rear? Would 1.15" use a 1" bushing as well?

Anybody have to go through this before?

.875" = 7/8"
.96" = 15/16" +/-
1.15" = 1 1/8" +/-

I think the .96 would be the 7/8" and the 1.15 would be the 1". I believe the front sway bar on my truck is a 1"and is actually slightly bigger than that. And the rear is the 7/8. I know for a fact the rear is smaller. I could be wrong about the sizes. Maybe somone else knows for sure.
