Thanks for your help | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 | Scott, Way back when there was a bunch of articles about doing this. I cannot remember the magazine but a search on the internet led me to this site: http://webrodder.com/articles?search=six+pack+to+goThe one you want to look at for this job is: http://webrodder.com/article/six-pack-to-go-part-6-converting-a-late-12-bolt-for-trailing-armI can't remember the exact date but I did this exact thing probably 15 years ago (I had the actual magazine it was printed in). If you do not want to mess with your original rear end I guess you could get a spare to work on. Bottom line, I do not know of anyone who sells this bracket. Maybe you could get 4-5-6 Chevy to get you one but you would have to contact him personally as I do not know. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 11 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | As a heads up: I believe GM changed the design of the panhard bars (3) times during the 60-66 C10 run: * 1960-1962 utilized a 33" bar length * 1963-1964 utilized a 27" bar length * 1965-1966 utilized a 24" bar length Bar length and mounting to the axle changed. Measure thrice... buy once. And FWIW....

I have one of those stock bars---out of a early 60's short, fleetside, C-10.
It is still on the frame & empty axle housing (was a box trailer when I got it years ago)--- Pm me if you are interested.
I saved the bed but the rest is heading for the crusher someday.
It is free to you if you cover the shipping expense.

Besides the axle being a Dana 60, the mount appears to be part of the axle assembly and not welded on. It also comes off at a different angle. They can be swapped in but the mount on the frame needs to be altered/relocated.
