I am puting a 87 GM pickup rear end under a 66 Pickup and i built a braket to weld to the axle tube for the J bar, or panhard bar to go to. I was going to reuse the stud from the old rear end but it is going to take some work to reuse it.Has any one here changed rears in a Chevy pickup with coil springs?

No i am use its factory bar. It has a 5/8 hole. I wondered how much force will be on this bolt? I dont want to end up with something that may fail. The end on its bar were the bolt gos is thicker than the bars that use heims ends and it looks like the longer stud would bend easyer but maybe their isnt alot of force on it.
