88 C1500 2wd No front sway bar?

[someotherguy]

My born 03/88 has no sway bar.

No holes in lower control arms to attach end links and i dont believe the frame had any either

I have indeed seen these trucks. In the very first year or two the front sway was optional.

Wow. Another 400 quirk I wasn't aware of.
Never noticed in all these years I've been crawling around underneath 'em at the P-n-P.
Usually if the front bar was gone, it was because some had bought it.
...or so I thought.
Had no reason to check & see if the LCAs had holes for the links.
Both my trucks with just the front bar handled like...ehhh.
Sooo much better even with just adding a rear bar off a 400 SUV.
I couldn't imagine driving one of these trucks without any bar at all.

Grad '76.
Don't be fooled. Wielded properly, the cane's a weapon.

I had an 88 C1500 Silverado with no front bar. It was an odd one, being a Silverado but having crank windows and manual locks. It had A/C though, that's what mattered.

My "88 K3500 did not have a front sway bar but it did have holes for the end links and the frame had holes for the sway bar mounts.

Hmmm, so is there an RPO code for front sway bar?

Edit: or maybe a "Sport" package?

OK - I think I found it going through my RPO codes.


I have F59

And lookie there at F58, that confirms the 2 different sizes that came up in another thread.

The trucks with just the front bar got a larger version than the trucks with both front & rear.
GM's method of compensating for just having the one.

But PlayingwithTBI has the small bar and no rear bar.
