If your car was not sway bar equipped (most, if not all 64's weren't) you will not have the mounting tabs on the lower control arms. There will probably be some holes on the front of the k-member. This doesn't really matter as aftermarket sway bar kits typically come with brackets. In fact, the quality of the brackets is what makes a big difference between lower and higher cost bar kits. Compare Addco and Firm Feel for example.

I put Hellwig swaybars on my '64 and it made a tremendous difference! The rear bar does clunk occasionally over random bumps.

I bought addco sways and it came with a mounting bracket for the front to use with the lower shock bolt. I didn't have lower control arms with sway bar tabs. I imagine most of the kits would come with a mount for the front. Dustin

Firm Feel makes great sway bars that fit our cars very well. They are Mopar guys first and foremost.

64 K frame was not drilled for a factory bar but 65 and 66 was even if they did not come with a bar.
