    What rear sway bar is interchangeable for the 1980 short bed two wheel drive pickup. I've been looking at car / trucks as I'm driving and it appears that the Geo Tracker might fit. Any ideas? Don't really want to buy a new.

    Thats a very good question. When you find out and you successfully test fit one let me know so I can get for my 82 short bed.

    I had an aftermarket sway bar on the rear of my (sold..) 1980 Datsun 2-wheel drive / short bed pickup and it made a noticeable difference but, the crazy thing cost me almost $200.00!!!:rolleyes2:

    Not sure about the Toyota the Datsun did not and the kit came with the needed brackets.
