Default Re: 70 Duece sway bar links?

We have pics of the two types of vertical bars in the deuce book. Both will work, but the shorter ones will sometimes rub the diff cover if air shocks are installed.

The main debate over the years has centered on the finish of the bars. Most cars are restored to match the front bar, ie; the sway bar is natural and the verticals are black. However, on the NOS setup I found several years ago, the colors were the opposite, so I restored mine to match. I have seen plenty of original deuces, and the rear area is either too dirty, rusted, rattle-canned black (or white), or the bar is missing entirely. So, at this time we don't conclusively know the finish on the bars.

Also, the lower spring mounting plates with the special ear for the F41 cars is still available from GM, but it is different than the originals.
