Re: New member with a 1960
The Olds can come my way if you are needing more room for your truck...

Re: New member with a 1960
Wiring goes faster than it seems, focus on one area at a time. Truck is looking sweet

Re: New member with a 1960
I really like this ride height, the problem is that the torsion bars are all the way down right now, keep in mind that the glass, bumper, hood, and a few more items are not installed which might drop the truck a little more. Its my understanding that the ride quality is awful with the bars all the way down, does anyone have any creative ideas on how to keep the ride height very close to what is pictured without having a horrible ride quality?

Re: New member with a 1960
Well the only way to get low on a 60-62 truck and keep the handling would be to get drop spindals. But if you want to be cheap (I call it thrifty) and worry less about ride you could make or get someone to make torsion keys that lower the truck but don't hang down like the stock keys do

Re: New member with a 1960
They always look good when they are to low to drive.

Re: New member with a 1960
Thanks guys!
Now If I could find a nice set of Chrome turn signal bezels I would be happy, happy, happy! Hopefully the bed will be finalized, the rear end will be back in, and the exhaust, wiring, final paint work under the hood can commence!
