"Cordoba Suspension" Sway bar one piece???

I found parts for my gibbon xmember ifs conversion however there is not a single piece sway bar. The parts came from a '76 charger (on the list as donorP. The junk yard said after '75 this was changed to be two pieces to keep it more level when turning. Anybody know anything about whether these will work or if I need to find some older ones.

Also does anybody have a pic of where the strut rods mount or can describe it to me. (Either they weren't on the vehicle or I missed them)

Thanks!

I'm completely ignorant about mopar suspensions, but I'm learning as I go.

Well looks like the charger had some weird home made stuff on it or something. The junk yard decided to give me parts off another car instead got it all off a 78 cordoba now. They wouldn't let customers pull the parts (insurance reasons), but allowed me to be there when they did it. As they did when looking at what parts I needed off a charger, however I didn't recognize those as easily.

The strut rods connect to the lower control arms and are pretty big round rods with a large bushing on the end which on the donor vehicle connects to the frame and on the gibbon connects to the included brackets from the lower control arms. I'm going out to unload the parts and I will take some pics of everything and post in my gallery for you. The strutrods are still currently attached to my lower control arms.

The steering linkage should consist of 5 pieces - center link with tie rod ends on each side and then the pitman arm and idler arms that connects to the centerlink.

Pics coming soon.
