Rear Sway Bar End Link for 79 F-350

Does anyone know where to get a rear sway bar end link for a 79 350 4x4? I've can't seem to find them anywhere, new or used.

I believe the part number is D7TZ-5k484-A.

I believe the part number is D7TZ-5K484-A = This is the link only, does not include the bushings.
Applications: 1977/79 F250 4WD & 1979 F350 4WD

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Is there an option to buy the whole sway bar set-up as a kit? Or link and bushings?

If not, are there any aftermarket options?

I'm just trying to fix to pass state inspection.

Check with RV dealers, this was once the only choice prior to FoMoCo offering them.

Ford never sold a kit, each part had to be bought by itself.

D8TZ-5A486-A (replaced D3TZ-5A486-A & E0TZ-5A486-A) .. Front & Rear Stabilizer (sway) Bar End (link) Bushing Kit / Available from Ford & auto parts stores.

1973/93 F100/350 / 1975/93 Econoline / 1978/93 Bronco.

Here in CA we have smog inspections for 1976 and newer, but no vehicle inspections of any kind.

People can drive on may-pop tires with rusty sheet metal flapping in the breeze, with parts falling off or missing, but CA doesn't give a hoot.

Yep, 5K484. I don't see any that fit in the links provided. Unlike the picture, there is a bend in the link and it's not a straight piece. Thanks for the suggestions.

Anyone have a used pair lying around?

Just received the bushing kit for my 79 f250 with the 1 1/8th inch sway bar. Even made in the USA, Energy Suspension number 4.5125G.

Yes I know he needs rear, but he seems more concerned in just finding something that will work and he wants them to have a bend in them...

I am to busy to walk out to my parts rig/and since I can't remember to look under it to see if I still have a set on it...

If you are just getting it by state inspection, why not just take it off ? Problem solved !

I already took it to a shop and it didn't pass because of the end links. So they already know that I have it on the truck. He told me if i just replace them then he would pass it and i wouldn't have to pay again. I would like to fix it and keep it with the sway bar too.

If you have the links in decent shape from a parts truck I would be interested in purchasing. Thx

So let me get this straight, you HAVE the sway bar links and just need the bushings? Or the sway bar links you have are damaged or for some reason the place will not pass it?

I am going to ck my parts truck right now.
