My 74 doesn't have sway bars but I want to add them. Will the sway bars from a G van bolt onto my C10? Any other factory sway bars that I can swap on for cheap from a junkyard car?

c10 sway bars are not that uncommon , no good reason to look at other donors

Also look at C20’s and C30’s since the camper special package includes a front sway bar . Trailering special trucks may have also had one.

Wish you were closer.. I've had a swaybar with brackets, just needs bushings, on CL for $15 for 2 months without one hit. When I listed mine, there were a bunch for $50 to $100 and now I'm wondering if they were actually able to get that much.

The local yards dont have square bodies except one and they are very picked over. That's why I'm asking for other vehicles that may have some that work.

Boy , the REAR can prove very challenging..that's a whole different ballgame reall. Maybe best to focus on the front one first ya reckon?

Here is my ad. Not one hit in at least two months @ $15. If someone needs it and willing to pay shipping, let me know and I'll look for a box. But I think shipping is going to be expensive d/t weight and size.

As long as its under 75 lbs the usps will ship it. I dont think it should be too bad if you get a box just a hair bigger. I sent door panels in a bigger box and it cost about $45. This exact box.

A lot of 80's C30 crew cabs had a rear sway bar.
