Before and current - Progress made on the 1960 apache

[demian5]

This weekend I had to get the truck back together and rolling so I could get my car out of the garage to take to a show.

Got it all together, drop 2 1/2" spindles, all new ball joints and a arm shafts but didn't put shocks on yet - and the thing dropped to the ground and rested on the tires on the wheel wells. The 2 1/2" spindles shouldn't have dropped it that much!?

Turned out that the torsion bars were swapped side to side (or they are twisted evenly the opposite way), and the "bump" stops were the shocks being fully compressed!

Anyways, here is how it sits now. Looks pretty good. I am concerned about the adjusters hanging down so low...

Does anyone know if the torsion bars are left and right? If the are not and are supposed to be the same (and straight at the front and back), maybe I just get some others and put them in and the adjusters wont be so low?
