Re: need pictures of 78 series prado front sway bar
Sorry I dont have any pix but........ What you need is a 78 Prado swaybar. The prados have bolt on chassis mounts bolted onto the inside of the chassis. You need these too. Simply weld the Prado bolt on mounts to the Surf chassis once you have the swaybar bolted to the diff. Really easy if you've got the parts. The links are easily available in a multitude of lengths.
If you cant get your hands on the chassis mounts then you should be able to fab some up easy as

years ago mine went to the scrap metal merchant. you should hit up the 4wd shops as they might have them in their scrap bins...

Chassis mounts for front swaybar

I didn't get a chance to refit the swaybar for a photo but this is the bar. all mounts are standard D shaped bushes with metal D shaped brackets bolted over top
