T-Bird/Cougar sway bar?

I put a '78 tbird front swaybar on my '65; its nearly a bolt-in. I looked around at the U-pull-it and found a car with a 1-1/8" diameter bar.

It is almost exactly the same shape as the stock one and is the right width; all he'll need to do is move are the brackets that mount the bar to the frame. Each bracket has 3 holes, I reused the top hole and drilled new holes in teh frame for the other two and used self tapping bolts. He'll need to buy new mount bushings with the right diameter for the new bar and new bushings for the end links. It took me about two hours altogether.

Man what a difference, one of the best improvements I have made on the car and it cost $40.
