Re: 1962 to 1963 B sway bars?

[<62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nico. I don't recall the early factory clamp setup called ineffective, but indeed there must have been some reason for Chrysler's engineers to redesign the sway bar design for the mid-to later '60s models. Hopefully it was the engineers making the call (engineering) versus the Chrysler accountants (cost savings).  :) 
 
I looked up the LCA interchange and all 62-65 B body cars had the same part number. 

Do you think the  Firm Feel bar setup would work on a 1962 B which apparently has a different K member? I recall Bill Parker reported here that his '62 Plymouth had the same sway bar as the '63-'65 B body cars and had the bracket mounting holes drilled in the K-member no matter if the car was shipped from the factory with or with out the front sway bars. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
