Narrowing 60's front suspension
 

Does anyone know of a parts swap to narrow the front track width of a 63-72? Also change to 5x4.75 bolt pattern? I got a 53 Chevy project truck sitting on a 63 up frame. The front suspension is too wide. Thanks.

Not as much as you need. CPP sells dropped spindles that will tuck 5/8" per side, and there are rotors that could be swapped to get the bolt pattern, but that's about the limit. You might get a little more with high offset wheels, but that is expensive and looks like crap.
I have several suggestions, if you have your stock frame. Otherwise ,you are kinda out of luck.

Porterbuilts Dropmember narrows track width about 1.5" from stock. The CPP drop spindles can add to that as well as they offer shorter a-arms to narrow the track width even more. Pricy, but great quality.

Some other options would be No Limits, Fat Man Fabrications, Roadster Shop, or Scotts for bolt-in aftermarket crossmembers w/varying track widths (depending on the mfr).

I will probably change the frame or subframe it. I just didn't know if there was a old trick people have used before. I have heard of people using 78-87 Malibu front spindles and disc brakes on a 57 Chevy car, almost bolt on. Might just get Camaro subframe. The rear trailing arm suspension might work good.
