Hio Silver,
Thanks for the front bar measurements. It looks like a close match. The overall is wider at 45-1/4, but the measurement to the center of the bushing eye to eye is spot on. The variance in overall length is probably because of the bar thickness. Mine is between 1-1/16 and 1-1/8th.
As for the possible rear bar. It's got a hump in the middle for a differential. The overall length from center of bushing hole to bushing hole for this one is 36-1/8th, about 11-1/8th depth with bar thickness just shy of 7/8ths. Any idea if this will fit?

Re: front sway bar option
I installed a '79 Bronco 1-1/8" rear sway bar under my '69 F100 a couple of years ago. I have a 1-1/8" front sway bar on my truck from a '78 F250 Camper Special.

Re: front sway bar option
Great tutorial. But my rear sway bar doesn't look anything like the one in the photos. Was there an alternate version? If could figure out how to post a picture of mine I'd do it.

Yes, from what I can see, very much.
