1960 X-frame and Porterbuilt
I'm working on installing a full porterbuilt setup on my '60 C10. Has anyone integrated the 63-72 trailing arm crossmember into the x-frame? I've got some ideas but would welcome tips, pics, etc. from anyone that has already been down this path.
Thanks! |

Re: 1960 X-frame and Porterbuilt
You don't need that. The Porterbuilt arms are adjustable. You can get away with the stock length ones to center axle. I have lots of pictures on my build thread.

Re: 1960 X-frame and Porterbuilt
I checked out your build, but don't think it will work for me. I'm planning on laying frame with my set up.
Thanks for responding! |

Re: 1960 X-frame and Porterbuilt
The bumper and a-arms stops the frame from touching. All you need is the bridge vs pipe notch and the 3" drop arms vs my 1" and lots of bed cutting. I have seen stock arms used with modified perches. The x tunnel will require a 2 Piece shaft. But the adjustable arms and stock spots will work.
