The 63-64 Chrysler's can supply a bolt on front sway bar for your 62. I find the 64's in particular are common and cheap as parts cars

I am not aware of any aftermarket sway bars.
60-62 New Yorkers will work,but you have to weld on brackets.
I haven’t found bolt on 60-64 sway bar yet?
They exist,but I just haven’t found one yet

Hi. I found the easiest way to get my front bar was to pull it from a New Yorker. The suggestion is correct, check to see if the brackets extend out from the frame stubs as you will need them. My brackets were present and unused. In addition you WILL need the front strut rods as the bar attaches to them. These rods have a notably thicker diameter than non-bar cars and are essential in finishing the installation. Unbolting the nut at the front of the bar is usually difficult as it goes through the extra cross member located there. If the car is a junker then it is easier to cut the member either side of the strut rod mount and remove it that way. Do not loose any pieces as they are specific to this system and have an odd bar/rod clamping arrangement. By cutting the cross member it allows you to put the piece in a bench vice and apply heat, penetrating oil, and a big johnson bar to it. Worked for me, and saved the threads by working it patiently. Also, there is a cotter pin and a washer involved. The pin might just be a remnant to remove, but the washer is needed. Rubber for these are available, and somewhat stubborn to insert. I have some extra ones. Watch out for the brake line that goes through there from the line splitter to the right side. DM me if you need to. Good luck!
