Hello everyone,

I own a fairly stock '60 Apache 10 panel. I recently bought a '71 front suspention set up. I was told that it is pretty much a direct bolt in with some slight modification of a few holes on the frame. I haven't done one one these swaps yet and am wondering if anyone has any further advice, info or pics would be great.

Welcome to the forum

Yes the '71-'87 front suspensions are a fairly easy way to upgrade your front suspension to disc brakes. Converting the '60-'62's is a little more involved than on the '63-'70 trucks. I believe markeb01's writeup on this is in the '60-'6 FAQ index.
