79 f150 front and rear sway bar

I ordered the addco 1" sway bars for the front and read of my 1979 f150. They have me drilling holes in my i beam and the bars dont match up with the existing sway bar holes in my frame. does anyone know who has sway bars that will use my existing frame holes and where i dont have to drill holes through my i beams. Thanks

You might contact Hellwig and see how their's attach to the I beams. Their's are also 1/8" bigger in diameter.

I will contact hellwig and see what they say. I wish I could find a set of factory sway bars but thats virtually impossible. The Addco seemed kind cheap to me. I just didnt like the fact that all new holes had to be drilled when the frames already have holes for sway bars. If they say easy installation then i didnt think that meant I had to redrill everything.

Ford didn't offer a rear sway bar for F100/150's, F250/350's only.

D5TZ5482A .. Front Sway Bar / Obsolete

Fits: 1975/79 F100/350 2WD / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
