Sorry, I haven't been in the market for a sway bar, I guess I should say I
haven't been in that market yet.
Did Austin V-Dub have any? That is the biggest bone yard I have seen locally.
Very picked over for interior stuff but you might find some stuff out there.
I originally purchased all of my stuff locally but the disappointment of wrong
parts and higher cost lead me to ordering.
I don't think I have been much help on answering your question, but good luck.

I really need a '66-'67 front sway bar but I was
asking more for parts in general.
I was having a bad day Saturday and when my local
source (which is 1-1/2 hour round trip away) gave
me a hard time about returning a new in the box $20 part after I had spent a
metric ass-ton of cash there in the last 18 months. I thought it would be
a good time to start checking into my options.

Dan,
I
have asked this question to the list before b/c I have had similar
experiences
finding split bus parts here in Austin. I have had good luck with the
folks at Black Gold per Sammie's suggestion. I also like WW in CA
because they will ship to my door.
Some of the places here will
charge you shipping if they don't stock the item, yet you still have to go
pick it up. I don't know of anyone in SW Austin. Let me know if
you find one.
What parts are you looking
for?
Jeff

For the run of the mill mechanical parts I usually recommend
Jack Wenk's Black Gold in Arlington. For the hard to find body parts
for 67 and earlier and other unique vintage stuff usually recommend
Wolfsburg West in CA. Sean Scott (think that's his name) at Vintage
Parts in CA is also good. Have given you Wenk's ph # Wolfsburg
West advertises in Hot VWs and Vintage Parts ph # is 1-800-898-8684.
All of these guys use either FedX or UPS and can have you the stuff in
short
order.
