When I used to sell Mopar parts....I could sell 71-72 front sway bars all day long. (same as E body) Literally, could not give away 73 and newer style. I usually tossed them in the metal scrap. On the used eBay units....the problem is that most lack most of the hardware and/or end links. Most of which is no longer available. Might find somebody parting a Doba and see if they would sell the front bar and every nut, bolt, link, and bracket. Being off a Doba 50 bucks or so should be adequate. Not like that person is going to have a big market for the part. Another option....Firm Feel Very expensive, very nice. www.firmfeel.com/b_body_mopar_front_sway_bar.html

Firm Feel is very expensive. I'm gonna check out the next 2 swap meets in the next week. I should be able to find the sway bar between these 2 meets, its the hardware. Tom is correct about the hardware for the bars. Can find the bars but missing the hardware. I just spent 1k purchasing the complete a/c kit from Original air. More shopping on the horizon.

Hey Hank...there's a couple of parts ads in the ebay/craigslist section with sway bars for sale. Bob (odzking) bumped them today.

I do believe I have the complete setup powder coated and ready to go. I have three sets. one stock set of sway bars front and rear just in case I wanted to go stock. One full set of Hotchkis and a front Addco sway bar also.
I got the stock bars first and before I put them on the car I found the Hotchkis kit and purchased that one. Then I figured out the Hotchkis front bar did NOT fit inside the frame like the stock unit so I kept looking and found the Addco front bar that does fit (barely) inside the frame. I ended up using the Addco in the front because its bigger than stock and it fits in the frame like stock and the Hotchkis in the rear because it is way bigger than the stock unit and its adjustable.
