Sway Bar

Anybody ever put a front sway bar on their 73-79 2wd truck? What did you use? How did it work?

I'm gonna get around to installing this factory front sway bar from my parts supercab...
I got a factory rear one i pulled from a F-250 at the wreckers - looks to have come from a rear with the nubs on it, to stop rotation, so not sure yet if i can bolt it onto my F-150 non factoy sway bar rear....

Not sure if I'll get much benifit with the rear, but the front should help with the 460.

I have an aftermarket front and rear swaybar. Definate before and after and very worthwhile.

Unlike most it seems, but I noticed more improvement with the addition of the rear swaybar versus just installing the front.

Thanks guys.... I think I will be investing in a set too... like to get the suspension a little tighter.... already did shocks and all the front links from the pitman arm... so I figured that would be the next step.
