Rich, at this point, I would strongly suggest that you invest in a
membership of GMCMI if you are not already a member. That is, by far, the
best spent GMC Dollars that you can ever do. There is a fantastic support
group lurking behind that name. If there are a set of sway bars out there
to be found, this group will know where they are. And any other hard to
locate pieces as well. Next in line would be an introduction to Jim
Kanomata at Applied Air filters and GMC in Fremont, California, and an even
bet to know where these pieces are. Jim Bounds at the COOP in Florida is
also a very knowledgeable source for such things. This is possibly the best
advice that anyone can provide to you.

The GMCMI subscription would be a great option and i may do that but getting things back/forth accross the boarder is a tedious affair at the momment but you are correct i do need the link to the community. Im just suprised, coming from the rare muscle car community that there is so little "for sale" items.

Rich,

I often say that people come to the GMC Motorhome because of the hardware and stay because of the people. I could tell you stories all day long about the amazing people and the generosity of spirit in the GMC community, but it's better if you just reach out yourself and find out. Yes, these are strange times, but this too shall pass. So in lieu of going to rallies reach out to people, pick up the phone, send an email, find out who these people are. You'll get a lot more out of it than finding some parts....and you'll find the parts too!

This is not a muscle car community. Pontiac was cranking out something like 50K Firebirds a year in the 70's - there were less than 13K GMC Motorhomes made in the 6 years of production. There are a _lot_ fewer parts out there, and you seem to be looking for a number of aftermarket GMC Motorhome parts. Generally those are on coaches and being driven around. On top of that it's an older community so the "piss and vinegar" levels have subsided (for the most part!), and packing stuff up and shipping things seems like, well, work. But go to a GMCMI, or pretty much any bigger GMC rally, and you'll find gold at the swap meets, often for "I just want it to go to a good home" prices.

You'll find out, like most people here did, that you were looking for a part or some technical advice, and accidentally found a life long best friend. I look forward to meeting you. When things ease up and we can go to rallies again, first beer's on me. Beer is cheap in the US - I can afford it. 😉

Start with fresh bushings and mounts. Ud be surprised of the effectiveness
of no slop and firm bushings. The front bar likely sufficient if oem and
held as designed.
