I see kits for 63-up not for 60-62.

2) anyone swap there hydrulic clutch to a manual? what is needed?

I put a 83 Blazer tank in my 62, had to make some mounting brackets and a filler neck, and it turned out pretty good...

Another thing to watchout for is if you have leaf or coil springs. I have a 65 and had to do a little mod to my aluminum tank. I replaced the crossmember in front of tank with channel iron and added one behind the tank to help prevent the Ford Pinto Flambe' syndrome.

Re: 1960 Questions

Just curious, why do you want to get rid of the hydraulic clutch?

Re: 1960 Questions

Kid, I was thinking of getting rid of the hydraulic clutch becuse the master cylinder on the 60 controls both the clutch and brakes.
But I ordered a willwood clutch master today .
Hewlett200200, baddawg65, lafnatu ,and 62chevystep thanks for the tips !!!

Re: 1960 Questions

I believe the rear of the trucks are the same width and If I remeber right by the back cross brace is around 26 inches between the rails cause I planned on putting one in my 62 but got the 66 so I am doing the same thing with a fuel cell I will try to get the measurements tom for ya
