1960 To 1964 Front Suspension
I Have A 1960 C10 With A Torsion Bar Susp. But My Buddy Has A 1964 Coil Suspension. Will This Work On My Truck And What Mods Are Needed? Thank You Anthony

Re: 1960 To 1964 Front Suspension
you will need the complete crossmember and suspension. It will bolt right up to your 60. I`m putting a 73 crossmember on my 62 whenever I get the time to actually work on it.

Re: 1960 To 1964 Front Suspension
You will have to use a 73-87 front suspension. On 60-62's with the torsion bar setups, those frames are a different than 63-66.. A little wider, I believe....

Re: 1960 To 1964 Front Suspension
It`s my understanding that the 73-87 crossmembers will fit from 60-72 chevy trucks. That being the case the 64 complete front crossmember and suspension should bolt up to the 60 frame. What am I missing?
