Adding a sway bar

Could I get all of the parts off of a salvaged bronco 89-96 or even an 4x4 f150 same year. Someone told me if it had a 5.8 most likely would have sway bar.
Just putting back together after replacing I beam bushings thought now would be good as any to change at least the spring cups.

I have all the parts from a junkyard to add front and rear sway bars to my 96 F 150 4X4 as well. However, on the donor truck it appears as though the rear brackets attached to the frame are riveted onto the frame. I looked on my frame, and I didn't even see any holes in the frame where these should attach to. I guess I'm going to have to fabricate a bracket and drill some holes to bolt the fabricated bracket onto the frame? The bracket I'm talking about is on the top right of page 14 and is labeled #3 (the attachment is from the 96 Ford Service Manual):
