differance?

[shorty]

hi , hope you guys can help me , ive got a 1960 short fleetside . and am wanting to slam it. but when looking on this site for parts it starts at 63-66 . Is there some kind of difference in front suspention on a 60 to a 63? And if there is a difference , what would be my best plan of attack so i can get desired results? thanks

The 60-62 trucks have torsion bar front ends were the 63-up are a coil spring trucks.

so, what do you think the best thing is for me to do in this case? is there so kind of swap that would work? thanks

I am not familiar with your exact truck but usually you can adjust the bolts at the back of the torsion bar to lower the ride height.

To upgrade to coil style front ends. Some people remove crossmembers from a later application and put them in these 60-62 trucks.
