Adding Rear Sway bars to 72- F100

Anyone have any recommendations for a manufacturer and size of rear sway bar for a 72 F100?
The prices are ranging from $125-$350, seems odd that the numbers are so drastically different.

I’ve seen 1”, 1 1/8” and 1 1/2”.
I have original shocks, axle, leaf springs, so hoping there is a key for me out there.

Any advice on brands and size for my truck would be helpful.

GMONY on my 67 f-100 2 wheel drive. i used a sway bar from a 87 Ford Bronco II. it is a direct bolt in. i had to drill out two holes on the out side of the frame because i did not want to run the metric bolts that came with the rear sway bar. i got it from my local junkyard for $20.00 bucks.

ADDCO makes one for this series of truck. Visit LMC Truck but prolly buy one from Summit Racing (and others) at a lower price.

For the front, get your hands on an OE set-up... it's way more sano than ADDCO's front bar.

I've got one on my garage floor from an 80-86 Bullnose truck that I'm going to try to fit under the back of my '68. I'll temporarily hang it on my rear diff to see what it will take to attach it to my frame, then make a decision from there....
