I beleive the holes are allready drilled on the frame for a sway bar. My 74 didn't have one so I put the bar from my 79 on it. Simple task.

Stingray 74 is right, the holes for the rear sway bar are already on the bottom of the trailer arms. If you get the complete kit from Corvette America (I think that is where I saw the complete kit) it comes with everything you need, mounts, brackets, bolts and bushings. It really is an easy install. Look in the catalogs and they have an exploded view of the rear bar and all the partes. I am pretty sure it is in Corvette America. Or was that Mid America :confused:
Good Luck

:yesnod: That's them. I spent all day yesterday cussing at 'em (they definitely add to the PITA factor of changing out your rear calipers!)

Hmmm. Then that means that I shouldn't install the rear sway bar until I'm ready to install the rear calipers (which I don't have yet)? Looks like the sway bar hardware gets in the way.
