Anybody got a front sway bar?

I noticed my truck doesn't have any sway bars. I am parting out an 86 F-250HD(gasser) that has both sway bars. The rear looks pretty straight forward, but the front bolts to the core support. I was wondering if the increased height of the diesel core support makes it impossible to use the front sway bar from the gasser truck.

I don't think my D50 has sway bars.

Syco, are you going to use that rear sway bar? If not, I'm interested.

I know my truck is 2wd but a TTB may be similar. Mine has the sway bar out front with 2 bushings and clamps like your gasser. It attaches with short links near the front wheel.

I have a D50, which has the same axle/spring/sway bar brackets as the gasser. The frame mounts for the gasser sway bar are on the bottom of the core support. Since the diesel core support hangs lower, I wasn't sure if that would affect the way it mounts. I dont think the diesel core has holes for it either.

Jason, it just so happens I have an extra rear sway bar from a 1990 F-250.

Will it fit an '86? If so, excellent, how much?

If you have a sterling rear axle, which you should being an 86, I think it will fit. PM sent.
