Re: 62 front frame horns

your not going to find them new. you will have to cut them off of another frame and weld them back on . I have a set of 64-66 but doubt that they are the same. , you may find a 62 in a scrap yard down there and get them cut off

Re: 62 front frame horns

I agree, the only source will be from another frame, and only a 60-62 will match. In 1963 the frame was switched to the open channel type which is taller than the 60-62 design. This is the reason the front bumpers only interchange between 60-62 and 63-66. The vertical spacing of the bumper bolt holes are farther apart on the later bumper.

Re: 62 front frame horns

Has anyone ever replaced the 60-62 horns with 63-66 frame horns?

There was a '61 in the local junkyard. send me a PM and I'll go cut them off if you need 'em.

Re: 62 front frame horns

I have some some 63-66 frame horns that I'm going to attempt to modify to fit my 62 frame.
I'm thinking I'll be able to just drill new holes for the 60-62 bumper.

I recently scrapped a 62 frame, saved about 36" on both sides. $60.00 plus shipping. LMK

Re: 62 front frame horns

Do you need both or just one side?
