Subject says it all.
Can a stock 69 front sway bar fit on a 65 b-body K frame? I know the lower control arms with tabs would have to be installed (or have tabs welded). No doubt the K frame isn't drilled for the mounts but that's an easy fix.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

Thanks. I've already got one on the hot rod but it's a 69 K-frame.

Aren't there aftermarket sway bar setups available for early B's?

I believe there are setups available. However, if you have an early B and you also have a sway bar you kinda want to use what you've got.

I agree with Feets.I have the complete setup from the 66 Charger for my 65.Its free and my 65 isnt a road racer that needs a heavy sway bar.Rocky

We put a 66 Charger front sway bar on my brother's 62 Dodge. Used the Charger lower control arms, and drilled the (original 62) crossmember for the sway bar bracket bolts, and it bolted in.
The factory pre-66 sway bar clamped to the strut rods, so using the 66-up style bar doesn't look original, but it fits.

I used a 70 Roadrunner sway bar on the k frame in my ex 64 Belvedere wagon by using that method. Worked good.
