Wallowing 60 SGMC Sub
I figured I'd throw this out with you guys for your input. 1960 GMC sub [torsion bar suspension] and it has a lot of body roll with normal driving. New shocks, alignment is dead on [tracks straight] . I know this is a big vehicle but any improvment ideas appreciated. I don't think a sway bar is made for this year sub .

Re: Wallowing 60 SGMC Sub
seems like a 73-87 sway bar would still work even though you have the torsion suspension.

Re: Wallowing 60 SGMC Sub
I will have sway bars for the Torsion Bar trucks later this year. I've developed them, just waiting for the hardware from my manufacturer to install the second version of the prototype on my Sub.
My '61 feels like the door handles are going to scrape the ground when I go around corners. -Brad

Re: Wallowing 60 SGMC Sub
My old 60 Panel was the same way. Alot of body roll. The T-bars were even cranked down a bit.

Re: Wallowing 60 SGMC Sub
Big Fenders, do you still have the GMC V6 under there?
