I am looking to get a rear sway bar for my '66 F250 4X4. Of course nobody makes one specifically for my application. They do make one for a '76 Highboy. Would I be able to install the '76 sway bar in my '66? The axles are identical, I am running '76 rear springs, and the frames aren't to much different ('76's is taller over the axle, shape on bottom appears to be close). What obstacles would I run into?

 

I love stumping people.

 

How many Slicksters would know what parts will work from Dentsters besides the P/S and disc brakes?

D3TZ-5A772-A .. Rear Stabilizer (Sway) Bar / 1973/79 F250 'Regular Cab' 2WD / 1977 F250 4WD (High Boys).

1973/76 F250 4WD's (High Boys) were not available w/a rear sway bar.

Dunno if this bar will work or not. You will also need the sway bar rod ends and their bushing kits, and the mounting brackets w/bushings.

Ask FTE momber mikeo0o0o0 to scan and post the following from the 1973/79 truck catalog: Illustration Section 53, Page 8 = "1973/79 F250/350 Rear Stabilizer Bar"

The only rear and front sway bars available prior to 1973, were sold by RV dealers and front end shops, cuz Ford never offered them.

 

I figured someone might know. I guess I figured wrong.


Where there any major differences between the '77 High Boys and '76 High Boys? When I ordered my '64 to '72 parts book I also got the '73 - '79.

I guess I will be the guinea pig on this one.

 

Why does it show a quantity of 2?
