61 Front Suspension questions

So looking a project for my son, he's into the 60-66 styles, we came acrossed a 61 that needs a bunch of work but is in the right price range for a project it is going to need alot of stuff, but the main question is on the front, the previous owner cut the torsion bars and has it just sitting on the bump stops, so what is everyone else using on these years for the front end does the 64 & newer front work or the 73-87 front end work? thanks for any info...

Re: 61 Front Suspension questions

The 73-87 front suspension is the best option because of the disc brakes and ease of hooking up power steering with matching parts from the same truck. Here's a link to how I did mine:
