This may work for you, I pulled a front sway bar from a 75 F-350 in the junk yard a couple of years ago. The rear sway bar was pulled before I could go back to get it. I'm in the process of installing it on my 76 F250. The key thing is it was on $15.

I put a set of Addco bars on my '74 F-100 and it made about a 100% difference. Wow.

AND, I found them cheap on Ebay ($40 ea.)

Remember! -Always add a front sway bar b4 you add a rear sway bar... Otherwise some very odd steering tendencies can be introduced.

I have done this no-no myself with weird results. I read the books after the fact, and found out it was a bad idea! - hehe
