Another sway bar question
I plan to install a sway bar on my M11 front set up.I would like to know if I can use a rear sway bar with a 22 gallon mustang fuel tank mounted between the rails.

That is the one I plan to use on mine as well (84 BII). Do not get an explorer rear sway bar. They mount on the rear of the axle. That would more than likely get in the way of the tank. That is not a guarantee, but it is not worth taking a chance on it hitting.
Oh...the BII rear bar, just bolts though the frame (see the arms on his pic). I put one on my old ranger.

Thanks for all the help guys.I see that the pic showing the Bronco11 bar is on a F100 frame and I forgot to mention that my truck is a F1.Sorry.Will this bar work on a F1?

Somebody may have a more deffinate answer for this, but I believe that the frame width on the 53's is the same as the prior F-series frames. That's why you can bolt up a rear end from 48-63+ (I know, as I've got a 63 F100 rear under my truck that was bolted in place of the original rear). Therefore, you shouldn't have a problem.
