Re: 83 suspension in a 60

I'm not familiar with the torsion bar front suspension,... so hopefeully some one else will chime in.
The rear axle will work but you will have to remove the leaf spring perches and install trailing arm mounts. Companies like ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) sell them new.
