drop track bar mount

i have a 1970 f100 that im in the process of graphing a six inch skyjacker suspension system off of a 78 f150. also i also have extended radius arms. were would i find the correct drop track bar bracket for my year truck. the one that came off the 78 bolts in place of the original track bar, and so when i turn the steering wheel the truck shifts with the axle causes it can pivot.

thanks for the help in advance
Austin.

Austin, Have you checked the offroad forum, while someone might be able to help, I don't see your type question posted here much.

Not to be smart, I knew Nascar race cars have track bars, but where were they put on out trucks?

i believe im using the correct term but what i am thinking of is the rod that is used to keep the axle centered under the truck, on a coil sprung truck that is. on the passenger side of the axle there is a rod bolted on, and that rod extends from the passenger side axle to a mountin location right in front of the driver side upper coil bucket.

I made one for my 67 4x4. Do the same or build a longer trac bar. You probably won't find a stock one, but I think I remember someone made an aftermarket one. JBG maybe.

hey sprocket i was looking at your truck, and it says you have a 4 inch lift on it, but compared to mine with a 4 inch it def looks alot taller, is there something else there that i dont know about or maybe im imagining things but anyways thanks all for helpin out.

austin

edit: JBG has an adjustable track bar that will work with up to a 6.5inch lift, has anybody used that and what do you think about it.
