does it have Twin I beam front suspension or upper/lower control arm suspension ?

If it has upper/lower control arm suspension, does it have coil spring or torsion bar suspension?

Is the sway bar still there ?
Is it in front or behind the twin I beams.

83-88 would be behind I beams
89-97 would be in front of I beams

Can you see on the frame where a sway bar would be based on the information given?
