A junkyard!
Is your truck 4wd? And what do you use your truck for?
I took off my sway bars, b/c I needed to lengthen the drop links b/c I put a 6" lift, and haven't decided if I even wanted them back on yet, b/c it rides fine w/out them(for what I use my truck for anyway).

Last week I installed a front sway bar from a a 1976 F250 into my 1978 F100. I upgraded the bushings to polyurethane ones (PST brand), and I love the handling. Soon I'll install the rear one taken from the same '76 F250. I paid $60 for both swaybars (including all brackets, links and bolts) at a local junkyard, plus about 4 hours of labor to remove them (the mounting brackets on the I-beams are torqued at 250-300 ft-lb and were a bear to wrestle with at the junkyard, where only manual tools are allowed). I took me about a full day to install the front sway bar on my truck (which included replacement of all front bushings and overall cleaning, painting and r/r of front suspension components).
