I don’t have one; however, there are alternatives to finding a stock seay bar. I personally recommend a Helwig for the early A

Nobody makes them as far as I know, and they were never available new as a separate part....only came with a sway bar assembly. Since you're not concerned about being show quality stock, get the Helwig bar. Otherwise, I can sell you a stock sway bar assembly, but, it's not cheap, and will need new bushings.

i've read the kanter ones don't fit
how are the ADDCO?
PST?
looks like the QA-1 only fits with their tubular k member?
would i be wrong to make adapter plates to mount universal sway bar mounts to? looks to be that's what ADDCO and Helwig are doing? i 'spose the 1 1/8" bar would be slightly better than the 15/16 stocker?

After a lot of research I chose the Helwig bar for my 65 Dart wagon. Drill 2 additional holes in the K Frame, install the brackets, bar and the end links to my stock LCAs eith swsy bar tabs - done. This bar wins hands down over any wimpy stock early A bar
ADDCO, PST & kanter are all the same bar. it fits but the hardware is clunky and the mounting is... "meh".
QA1 does not fit, it's all wrong.
best option to use your bar is to adapt universal swaybar mounts with some bracketry.
personally i'd sell the bar and get a hellwig or firm feel. both fit excellent and have top quality attaching harware and are no muss, no fuss to install.
Not sure what that bar is. 67 thru 72 A body? The Firm Feel early A front sway bar is a very nice setup, and they will make you what ever diameter you want.
good catch, i wasn't even paying attention.
that's a 67~72 bar and while it can work, it's not ideal.
sell that thing and get the correct bar.

the bar i have is '67 up? well dang. not what i bought it as. i don't think
firm fell only sells steering boxes at this stage
talked to hellwig, they are made to order with 8 week lead time
i think summit showed some in stock
there's a few on evilbay if you want to pay even more

call firm feel, they don't always update their website.
if you're gonna buy, get one from summit. ebay/amazon is a joke, they won't have it in stock and just string you along on delivery.
again, the addco/pst/kanter bar *works* it's just not as refined as the hellwig & firm feel bars. the price also reflects that on both...

If it is 15/16 OD, that is the HD front bar. You should not have a problem selling it. Getting the frame mounts is not a problem for 67-72 A-Body front sway bars.the bar i have is '67 up? well dang. not what i bought it as. i don't think
