Just got a 72 SS.. any quick ways to determine if I have F41 or not (No Build Sheet.. Yet I hope atleast... graemlins/sad.gif ) (besides the Rear Sway bar...)

Thanks,

front sway bar is larger than normal, i forget how thick, also front spring coils should be larger i think...

For a 70, don't know if 72 is same. Front sway 1.25". Boxed rear lower control arms and sway bar. Think shocks were different but they're probably long gone.

Well, actually the car has the original rear shocks still on it!!!!!

The car has been sitting since 81' The title says 135k. But I really believe this car is a 35k mile car..

The shocks are the Spiral shocks...

I believe the largest from sway bar offered in 1972 was 1 1/8" ... least this is what I remember reading from the assembly manual. I don't have it with me right now though.

F41 = 1 1/8th front sway bar, Box rear lower control arms, rear 7/8th sway bar, and frame stiffners that attach in a triangle shape above the rearend.

Well it has the triangle shaped stiffiners, but has channeled rear lower arms, and I think might have 1 1/8 front sway bar.. Will have to check that..
