Trac Bar help........
I'm lowering my 1964 c10 5-inches in the rear. I installed the new lowering springs and shock re-locate brackets. Since I have a 1969 12-bolt rear end with the trac bar stud mounted on top of the pumpkin, I ordered the adjustable trac bar for the 1965-69 c10 truck. When I installed the trac bar, it appears that the angle is off a bit and the bracket on the driver's side of the frame where the trac bar fastens to needs to be back about another inch or so? I'm assuming the 1964 C10 and 1965 C10 frames are the same and the location of the trac bar bracket on the driver's side rear frame rail are in the same position?? If i put a load on the suspension, the trac bar will slightly hit the stock differential cover? Is this normal or do I need to relocate the frame bracket?

I would get me one from No Limit Engineering, they have the ones that bolt to the frame and then the PS ( I think) trailing arm mount. Allows for a larger pumpkin cover and such.

Re: Trac Bar help........
Thanks for the pictures; but it looks like the bracket on my 64 just needs to be moved back about an inch or so?? It is hard to tell by the pictures, but does the 65 bracket also sit lower than the 64?

Re: Trac Bar help........
This was the track bar from my 65.. It was cut, shortened and re-welded..
 I ended up replacing it with an adjustable one. I didn't have a pic of that available.

Re: Trac Bar help........
It is mainly the angle of the frame bracket that is different between the '63-'64 and the '65-'72. Yes the '65-'72 bracket is slightly further rearward too.
