Default Custom sway bar?

Have a vintage O/T GM with a factory front sway bar of only 11/16". Checking if Chevy's bar from the same generation is an interchange (won't be, guaranteed)- there is a 1" bar available to those guys.

Would like to bump my car's bar up to more like 1" but there is zero aftermarket support here. 'Used to be' you could get a custom sway bar made, thicker, patterning off your factory bar.

Anyone know of a company that still does this? Bar is a very simple 'U' with just the 2 bends. Thanks.

Eye-to-eye center dimension is 43".
Bar 'drop' is 7.75" from eye center to center of main straight.

Impala bar I was eyeballing is 39" eye-to-eye.
