What Panhead Bar/Mount are you using? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pappyx3! · 06-11-2015, 02:48 PM

I changed my HO32 rear out for a GM 12 bolt, (from 81-87) need to add a panhead mount back to Diff and get an adjustable panhead bar. What are you guys using.

Truck is a 62, it has been lowered 3" with lowering springs.

Appreciate the suggestions!

A long time ago, I fabricated and welded my own bracket on the back of the passenger side trailing arm combined with an adjustable track/panhard bar that I also fabricated. Then a few years later, Early Classic started offering this brilliant kit: http://www.earlyclassic.com/catalog....20track%20bars

I would just go with the Early Classic kit.

Thanks VIN 63 for the suggestion. That kit certainly looks simple enough to install.

I seen a thread where Porterbuilt had a track bar that mounted to the trailing arm(s) but the pics weren't detailed enough for me to see all the contact points and mounts. Anyone used there kits? Any pics of one installed?

Thanks

I used the ECE kit above on my '63. Just note, you have to relocate the factory frame mount. Not a big issue.

not the best pic, but my PB bar is mounted outside the frame rail on drivers side, and to the trailing arm on the passenger side.

I went with a similar kit from CPP.

No updates on the panhead bar/mount on the 62.

In the last week I just got everything buttoned up so I could actually move it out of the garage on it's own power. Panhead bar/mount are next in line...

Thanks,
