Vickie,
It is possible. The sway bar on my parts car looks something like a clothes
hanger compared to what I have seen on the 69 I am restoring. Unfortunately
the two cars are about 25 miles apart and I can't quickly look at one and then
the other for comparisons. I like the idea of the larger sway bar, but I
definitely do not want the empty lumber truck ride that I will get the way the
car is set up right now.
