Hiram..right now I only have a rear bar installed. No front bar from the factory, but soon I will add one. I have all the brackets necessary, but haven't purchased a bar yet.


Catfish...I'm swapping over to the round headlamps using parts from the 84 that Superbeast is working on. Member "Lee7673" is looking for a set. I told him to send you a PM.

The factory didn't make a swaybar or you just want to buy a new one ? How about the newer style ?

At that time front swaybars were optional on 1/2-ton models, but standard on 3/4-ton and 1-ton models. I would imagine later on the front swaybar was standard across the board.

No need to swap harnesses. The plug for the hi-beam should be tied back.

No big rush Ken, I'm not ready to swap in yet. How about we make the trade at the campout in April if you can make it?

Sounds good to me. I'm hoping to make the camp out. Please remind me as it gets closer though.

I really don't understand the reason behind this swap.
The square stacks where the upgraded light system for that model van......
Sorry I really think they even look better.
I don't think the single rounds performed better ether
??????????
