Re: New member with a 1960
I am going to have to modify the wood in the bed for the afterthought of wheel tubs, I am not sure in I should put the when tub flange on top of the wood or sink it and flush the wood up to the wheel tub, it would be cool if there were a trim piece made to hide the gap.
Any ideas or suggestions? |

Re: New member with a 1960
Not on a 61 but on a 62. There are a couple of threads on the subject. I used one from cpp that was meant for a 63-66. It was the type where the ends of the bard have a hole with a bolt that goes through and the bolts have bushings around them. I had to drill all my own holes but it worked fine. I am assuming you meant a front sway bar.

Re: New member with a 1960
Another bang the head against the wall moment...... It must be old age catching up with me.
so I have combed over the forum, looking for front/rear sway bar ideas. There are some very helpful threads, but I am looking for something a little more performance geared, after all the hard work I really don't want to drop the torsion setup, I hear people say the torsion suspension will not perform but I cannot see why not, its just that the parts aren't available. I'd like to utilize some nice performance sway bars that will help when attempting to carve some corners in the old junk! |

Re: New member with a 1960
I went ahead and ordered the Hotchkis front sway bar for 63-72, I'm assuming we can make that work pretty easily, we are going to build the rear bar! The LED lights arrived and I believe they will work great, I think I have about 600.00 in the full LED swap including signals, tail lights, brackets and head lights and all of it was United Pacific products!

Re: New member with a 1960
What power steering kit is that? Looks like it bolts right up to the 60-62 frame

Re: New member with a 1960
Its the CPP conversion kit, and it was an awful fit, we actually modified the frame to make it work!
