Sway Bars

I've got a 1978 F150 4x4 that does not have a front or rear sway bar. A guy near me has both sway bars, and hopefully the mounting hardware, for sale. I'd like to add them to the truck if it's not a giant pain in the rear. Is this just a simple bolt on project or is it going to be more complicated? Thanks!

You should find it to be relatively simple. I am doing a similar project, and am moving right along with a little fab work. Of course I am not done so it just might not work, but oh well lol. These guys on this forum are incredible to help with anything, so it should help. BTW IAFF Local 1880 here. Be safe brother

Make sure your rear axle has the brackets for the sway bar. Some sway bars had bolt on brackets and some were welded on.
