will a 67-72 lowering kit work on a 60-66 chev truck??

[1972BackInBlackC10]

i have a 1967 chev project truck that is lowered, i really want to build a short box and have the opportunity to purchse a 60-66 chev short box for 24 beer, yes i said 24 beer haha, i was wondering if my lowering kit from my 67 will work on these style trucks as id like to stay with a lowered truck

any ino would help

Yes, use the entire front crossmember from your `67, it will bolt right up, you`ll will have to drill two extra holes is all in your `63 to `66 frame, will not work on `60 to `62.

Yes it will work. 63-72...

[1972BackInBlackC10]

what two holes would i have to drill? im hoping its a 63-66 is there any way to tell without looking at vin, im not sure if the guy knows what yr it is, and what about the coils on my trailing arms on my 67? also my 67 has a sway bar in the front would i be able to make that work too?

I traded a dog kennel for my 66 i found out later that it was stolen!

if the truck is a '60-'62 it will have torsion bars in the front. your kit won't work, however, I was under the impression that the entire crossmember CAN be swapped out, giving you coil springs, etc. you might look in the '60-'66 FAQ section, for instance here's one link:

or, maybe better:

the rear trailing arm coils should be the same

Even if the truck is a 60-62 the front cross member can be swapped. I swapped my crossmember out for a 73-87 crossmember and all I had to do was drill 4 holes, the other 6 lined up. Sounds like a good deal to me, do it.

thanks for all the info guys, i will be going to see the guy tomorrow and possibly get some pics

[1972BackInBlackC10]

well the guy with the truck wasnt home today, but i got some pics of the short box, long box arts truck, and the 66 chev 4x4 he has

I just got a lowering kit from Old Car Centre in Langley, BC. Still in the CPP box and the rear coil set says 60-72 on the box.

[1972BackInBlackC10]

yea it should all work on there, hopefully i can get it soon and start tearing it apart

what was stolen; the kennel or the truck?

i think he meant he traded the kennel for the truck, not knowing the truck was stolen

[padresag]

but perhaps he traded the kennel and didn't know that it was stolen until later.
just teasing
