Well that depends on the control arms...If they have sway bar access holes I would have to say a-body sway bar. But you also need to recognize if you had to pull the arms in and if you did then the G-body sway bar will work if the proper holes are drilled in the a-body control arms.

Do you have an inside measurement where the sway bar is suppose to go? Jim

So your installing a G-body in a A-body 65-72 chassis? Man how depressing you have to go down to a 7.5 rear.

How are you getting the upper to fit? Seems like the arms will not be long enough causing the pinion angle to be WAY off and the binding of the suspenion. ??? Let me know Pictures etc. Jim
