79 2wd F250 rear sway bar links

Any idea where I could find replacement links for my truck? It's a 79 F250 2WD.

They looked pretty rough and I was replacing U Bolts, plates and a center pin on the driver side. Didn't really think they were hard to find so I took a grinder and cut the driver side off. I've been looking everywhere and can't find one. Anyone have a line on a pair? I would really like to replace them

Does the F250 rear swaybar use the same endlinks as the later bronco with the 9" rear?

No, because if they did, I would have said so.

ND or anyone else

Hey guys,

i am am in the process of redoing my rear sway bar (77 f250). Does anyone have specs on the bracket labeled 4A342 in the exploded sway bar diagram?

PO of my truck has simply stacked washers. Bracket is missing.

Thanks!

I think it's a reinforcement plate. Make your own. I used the rear swaybar off a 79 Bronco on my sons 75 F150. Hole was already there. I just sleeved the links after cutting and made them longer. Got new bushings and I may have added a larger thick washer to space the end away from the frame. Trucks in Ala. at school with him, so can't be certain.
