And that still looks like a 1/4" bolt to you?
Not sure it's the way I would do it, but then again I wouldn't be putting a sway bar on my truck. I rip them off and throw them in the trash.
Now that we got that out of the way - why don't you post up some pics of the stuff you've built. I'd love to have a look...

BTW those are 3/8" or possibly 7/16" bolts and not 1/2"
At the very least his truck is driveable... What about you?

Not driveable yet - but then again works of art take time... I'd put my work against yours, his (his motor was installed at Autofab) or anyones on here any day of the week. I'll also gladly wait to make sure my truck is done RIGHT (which to me doesn't exclude a chevy motor).
Oh, and I'm not the type to write a check to pay someone else to do it for me
I'll give you 7/16" on the bolts - maybe. I can ask him if you really want to know.

1975 F150 Diesel swap question
I am looking to eventually pull the 390 out and put a diesel in. I am not looking to build a hot rod just a classic that gets good mpgs and can still haul and tear up the road if my foot feel heavy. I was thinking a cummins 6 cyl from a bread truck. Any suggestions? What would be the best engine for what I am looking to do? I would like a diesel that has aftermarket parts as well as oem replacement parts that are readily available. I was also thinking Cat, but I have never really heard of them being used other than in heavy machinery. Thanks for any info.
