One brand new 3/4" diameter rear sway bar kit for 64-68 model year Chevrolet G10 Van

Fits a 64-68? Can someone help me out here? Can it fit a 1st and a 2nd Gen?

Thanks,

Wouldn't one want to make sure one has an anti-sway bar up front before adding one to the rear axle?

Like I have said before Don. You've got a picture for everything and always just the right one too. Thank you.

And Veefre, you make a good point... Being all the weight is in the front!

Thanks,

All righty. I'm on it. This may take care of the back. Now I just need to find a front... Will let you know what I hear from the company.



Thanks

From my previous reseach this is the one and only source for rear sway bars that fit are vans. If I remember right the story was that someone bought the the last one in stock years ago. With the quanity availible at 29 I'm guessing someone got them to run another batch of 30. Damn I need some money!

I found a photo of a typical Addco kit on a distributor's site:

All they show is this tiny photo (and I doubt it is the one for our vans) but you can see the a bunch of brackets and stuff come with it.

Year One sells them too (but not the one for our vans) and they say:

Addco bars are available powdercoated black, red or gold zinc-plated. Includes urethane bushings and mounting hardware.

Can someone explain the benefits of a sway bar for the mechanicly challanged like myself?

And you can't explain it better than that. Thanks Don....

The springs (all four) on my '67 were renewed around eight years ago. The van doesn't lean much if at all in turns. Bear in mind that an anti-sway bar won't prevent a van from tipping over, but it will tend to make the end with the anti-sway bar to wash out sooner. That's why it's generally advised to put a bar in the front end first, so as to preserve understeer. If a van has only the rear anti-sway bar, the rear end will tend to wash out before the front, resulting in oversteer with is harder for most drivers to control (it's like a slide or a spin) but which trained race car drivers tend to enjoy.

Your right Vee. We call it a "Power Slide". And under the right conditions, it is loads of fun. Just not what comes to mind when talking Vans....
