The bars don't even look the same, so they probably are different. Still, it wouldn't hurt to see if 79 bushings fit. the track bar on the leaves is there (I think) because the shackle is in the front. This keeps it centered since the motion of the axles will be more moved by bumps in relation to the steering than if the shackle is in the rear of the axle, similar to the solid axle chevys. I don't know if I said that clear or not, but hopefully I did. Ted

Well I got the shake fixed. I went to Ford today and got track bar bushings. Put them in and had to shim the axle a lil bit cause it was laid back to far, due to the add a leaf. Works great now, still a lil shake round 40-45 but that is my tires
At least now I can drive it. Thanks for all your help!!
