Well, these brakes didn't last after 63 on the GM stuff.

I think it has to do with 60 being first GM production units as they dropped the NAPCO stuff for 3/4 and down. I think they just used what was already out there as they were sort of figuring out the 4x4 stuff. There were a lot of changes in the light duty 4x4s in the front axle area the first few years of production. My drag link is an example. they only used that 2 years. Same with the steering gear.

But, I'm only guessing.
