Hi Folks--
New to the Forum and very 1st post!
A friend and I are rebuilding his 88 GMC C1500 (RWD) a little bit at a time, and currently working on the Front End. When we ordered parts, we ordered sway/stabilizer bar bushings and link bushings along with the other material.
Went over with the parts before starting, to insure we had the right stuff. I found there is no stabilizer bar on this truck (it is 25 years old)? It has the holes in the frame body for the brackets/bushings to hold the sway/stabilizer bar, and in lower control arm for connecting link and link bushings, but no bar.
He wants one, but I cannot find one, except in the higher dollar performance stuff. I did find some product under the K (4wd) in his price range.
So I guess the 1st question is did the C1500 come with a sway/stabilizer bar? If not, it certainly would appear they built it so that one could be installed. I did find a GM part number (15548449), but can find no cross reference or offered product, excepting that it may be for a later model (e.g., >88).
Does anyone know if a stabilizer bar for the ‘K’ series will work on the ‘C” series (GM part # 15538658).
Any one experienced with this care to comment? Sure would appreciate some knowledge.
