You can buy an aftermarket sway bar kit from a few vendors. Therefore you don't need to modify one from a 67. Latest Rage and others sell them.

Wolfgang does a good job. -----Original Message----- >From: Denis Dodson <coocoo@xxxxxxx> >Sent: Sep 20, 2006 2:51 PM >To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [tcb] Re: Sway bars on a splitty > >Rebuilt sterring boxes are RARE.
