    A common donor car for the rear sway bar is a 75-76 Caprice. The sway bar is mounted to a couple of 'U' shaped brackets that mount inside the lower control arms. You can just drill mounting holes in your existing lower control arms for the U shape brackets. Just be sure to get them when you get the rear sway bar.

    A lot of big Pontiac cars 73 -76 have the same sway bar,also.Your lower control arms should be pre-drilled from the factory to accept the swaybar.

    I forgot to mention the big Pontiacs as a source, but they were pushing their 'RTS - Radial Tuned Suspension' at the time, and I think they also had a slightly larger front sway bar as well. I'd also take the front bar from a car with the rear one if the front bar is bigger than the standard Riv bar.

    I think this has been discussed before-maybe 'whoa and sway'. I have a '73 Catalina, and the sway bar that fits it would not clear the bigger 'punkin' on my '66 Riv. I'm not sure if the boats have the same big rear as in '66 tho-good luck.

    Sorry. I don't have any underside pix of the cars. I'm not even sure how soon I'd be able to get these apart. Any idea of your time frame? Any other stuff you need?
