The new one. The way it's kinda rounded on the sides and tries to encapsulate the bushing. I've only ever seen flat ones that are basically flat straps bent to fit
I think it depends on the bushings used on the sway bar. I ordered some from Steele-Rubber, and they looked nothing like the OEM ones. So I ordered a set from MOOG, and they were exactly like OEM. The bushings from Steel-Rubber would work with the non-flat-strap brackets.

Interesting. I've done very little squarebody 4x4 work

I remembered I had a picture of some that I sent off a while back.

Got the 84 back today. Runs good and looks much better too. I'm happy with it even though I had to put an edelbrock on it. Lol
Transmission shifts good too. Gotta adjust the TV cable some. Way more oil pressure too. The 305 was down to 5 psi or so at idle now the 350 is at 38 at idle. Fresh oil change new belts, starter and flywheel. The other one was bent and the starter off the 305 didn't fit.

I think a lot of people look past those valve covers, but I’ve always liked them. Glad she’s back!

Painted the front clip on the 84 with black cayon satin. Much better now.
