I have a 1939 Deluxe Coupe that has a dropped front axle and it looks like a 1941 sway bar assembly was installed. I don't think it was done correctly. It looks like the previous owner, possibly with help from friends did the install.
It looks like the shackle for the sway bar end was welded to the top of the wishbone perch pin. And the thru bolt for the shackle is up tight to the side of the dropped axle.
The steering/ride handling is harsh and has almost a little buckboard wagon feel to it. It also has tube shocks which may be the wrong length or pressure.
I tried to get pictures but they came out real dark and was unable to see any detail.
What is everyone's thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

I do not have any photos of the installations. However, it is identical to the 1940 installation. Utilizing the 1940 perch bolts and respective sway bar, brackets, etc. this is a "bolt in" installation. NO welding is required.
The '41 sway bar, while similar to the '40, is not identical. The brackets are much different.
I'd suggest finding the appropriate '40 parts. The perch bolts will be perhaps the toughest to locate but they do show up fairly frequently on eBay. The bar and brackets are often found there as well. I'd suggest purchasing reproduction swivels. Typical prices for NOS perch bolts is aroun=d $125 - $150 for the pair. The sway bars are common and as such demand little, around $25 or so. Guys asking for more are dreaming.
A nice sway bar with good swivels just sold for $61 on eBay.

Currently there are NOS perch bolts listed as well.
