Default 1969 BB sway bar

I have read in many threads that BB cars have a rear sway bar can anyone post photos of the BB cars with the sway bar and sb without the sway bar? I just want to make sure what I think is the sway bar is.

I just looked, I don't have a picture of the rear of my car that shows the sway bar. If you look at the top of the trailing arms where the spring bolt goes thru there is a small bracket with a link and then the bar right over the top of the bolt. My bar is like 5/8 or 9/16 diameter- prestty small when you compare it to the front one.

It also runs over the top of the spare carrier..
Hope this helps.

This photo shows the sway bar on the driver's side of my small block car. (No sway bar originally).

Here's a pic of mine on my '65:

Mine is slightly larger than the stock sway bar. I also run a BB.
