    since your truck is a LWB 2wd, it didn't come with sway bars, at least i've never seen one that did. All of the SWB trucks had them, and it shouldn't matter if it's 2 or 4wd.

    Best bet is to go look for a 80-96 F-150 SWB std cab in the junkyard and pull all the pieces. The front bar and frame brackets you could also get off a bronco, but you need the axle beam brackets off a 2wd F-150.

    Here is a picture of the Front Sway Bar I took them today...Although the truck has been lowered 5 inches in the front. I think I flipped some pieces upside down to make it fit..

    Thats a sweet looking truck. You should start up a build thread for it!

    Did yours have holes for the sway bar mounts? I don't see any on mine. How much did the junkyard charge you for the entire setup

    The sway bar came stock on my 1992. We bought it new with 4 miles on the odometer. It's been a project ever since... The front sway bar is stock. I replaced the rear sway bar with a thicker sway bar from Hellwig if I remember correctly about 12 years ago.

    There should be a skid plate that bolts to the frame with 4 bolts. Located behind the front bumper...Then there is 4 holes in the skid plate for the front sway bar bushings.
