FYI.. The bar shown in the pix is not a "sway bar", it is an anti-roll stabilizer to control body roll on turns. A sway bar is mounted to the chassis and axle via solid links to maintain proper chassis alignment to the axles... The bar shown in my photo's is a sway/track bar. It is a stock '48 Ford bar.
If the person doing the shock modifications and has an electric welder and the skill to use it, then a number of components can be welded together to make shock mounts. However, if a stock looking appearance, with no cutting/welding is more to a persons ability, then bolt together Ford parts has merit.
