Question Trying to lay farme on my 60' C-10

Ok this is what I got I have a straight clean 60 that had a frame off resto started before I picked it up, orginal owner passed away, and famialy sold it to pay the bill. Anyways I want to be able to drag frame on this one but I have a very small budget but am a decent welder/fabracator.

My question is, Is there a way to bag the front of this truck using the stock torsion bar control arms and not Zing the frame also any pics of some rear setups with out back halfing would be great I have looked, and looked and cant seem to find any info on this. Seems like everyone swaps over to later model front suspension. This will be my first bagged rie so sorry if I come across a little slow.

Has been brought to my atention that cant be done but what about rockers


p.s. I will try and get some pics up as soon as I can figure out how to post them

Re: Trying to lay farme on my 60' C-10

This is a frequently asked question on this forum.......my friend has his 62 bagged. He pulled out the torsions and plated the spring pocket and mounted the bag. The rear-end is pretty clear..........this gets it low; dragging I dont know. Maybe run some 13" Daytons!!!!!
