According to all my GM reference material, sway bars were available for the
front and rear of TF trucks, but only on the larger trucks.These sway bars
were single piece construction as you would see today.

I'm not sure but I saw a set of anti-jounce ride stabilizers for sale on
Ebay that were cylindrical with a small bracket attached . The warning
label
said "do not attempt to disassemble".. I think due to heavy springs under
tension inside. I had never seen or heard of these before but the owner
claimed they were a rare option for task force trucks... A possiblility? I
didn't bid on them and I did not see what the final sales price was.
