I forgot to measure the F41 sway bar diameter before dropping it off for powder coating today. Are they 1 1/8th or 1 1/4" ??

I think the original was 7/8" or 15/16". I don't think a 66 came with a rear sway bar but I'm sure you could order one over the counter.

Oops, forgot to say, it's a '70-72 bar...

69-72 F41 came with a 1-1/8 front and 7/8 rear

Thanks Derek, now I can get frame bushings coming before the bar comes back from coating.

Lots of different size bars were used. Might be worth a call to the power coater.

Your front bar looked a lot like the TA bar I put in my car. My bar is 1 1/4" Unless you pulled it from a 70-72, who knows for sure. What about your old bushings and brackets, could you just measure them?

Yup, I'm gonna measure the frame bushing to reference the 1 1/8th. It's urethane, so it should be fairly accurate.
