Here is the stamp I had made for the number found on the bar.
Yellow ink.

Hi Bill, If you don’t mind sharing, what are the approximate dimensions for the stamping? What location did it show up on the bar? Thanks!

I've been following this and dug out this NOS rear sway bar I have. It is natural finish but shows some traces of black paint...perhaps as a preservative. Has part number stencilled on and Grey paint/primer also evident near the brackets. Very interesting Does the grey primer look to be over some of that black paint ? The one Walden did looked to have something on bar near bushing. What’s tough is NOS parts often look a lot different than assembly line parts. Need survivor pics also. The gray look is the tinning butter that Dave reapplied.Google his 4 door Cuda build blog from E Bodies only and you will find some detailed pictures and process for what he did to duplicate that

Bruce,
Here are the dimensions: Length 2-3/32 (2.093) Height 15/32 (.468)
Very common font. Any stamp shop can make one!

Some of NOS pics and even the original Steve70 posted look to have a grey haze over the black ??

thanks for all the response,some survivor pics would sure be nice to figure this out........I`m sure I have a magazine article somewhere where roger gibson stated entire front swaybar ,links and all was dipped in black or am I wrong? The pic that Steve70 posted is a 30k mile survivor. That car just had that light tan interior that seems to have 1/2 lifespan of black. And the original owner hopped up the motor.

Very cool post with some nice pictures. One thing to keep in mind is many assembly line parts do not have part numbers stamped on them especially Suspension parts. That is a NOS sway bar so that is why there is a stamped number on it for identification purposes. That bar is cool to look at for sure.

How is it possible that the yellow ink stamp remains on the picture of the bar that mccannix provided and most of the black paint is missing, isn't the yellow stamp over the black paint ?. I don’t believe they used “ink” when stamping these parts. Personally, I’ve stamped my parts with Testors’ model paint. In addition. I’m sure the parts we’re given a minimal amount of paint. If the parts were stamped when semi-wet (with black paint) then the yellow paint may have dispersed the black paint.
