Several years ago I had an 83 El Camino and I bought some aftermarket sway bars. The front is about 1.25 inch thick and the rear is 1 inch thick. Shortly after installing them, I realized the frame was sprung and on a salvage title. So I took the sway bars and other parts off and had the car hauled off for scrap.
Now that I'm working on the 59 El Camino, it looks like the sway bars might fit with minimal work. The rear looks like I might need a couple of shims inside the rear control arms. The front control arms look like I could drill a hole in each and use a shorter mount.
The questions are:
1 - Anyone done this before?
2 - Is it as easy as I think it is.
I'll get some pictures in a week or so.
Thanks!
