Kevin,
I have stabilizer bars on my 58 GMC NAPCO Suburban/Carryall and my friend who
has a 59 Chevy Suburban w/NAPCO also has them. They are solid bars but I think
the earlier ones I've seen were tubular. I'll be junkyarding in Arizona in a
week so I'll check on that if you want. In the meantime, I'm looking for a
GMC/Pontiac 336 from the fan to the bellhousing if anyone has seen one sitting
around.
Thanks
Larry Jones
