As I have no torsion bars but coil set up. It is for the good but makes me wonder as the number onthe frame match the tag on the door and it is spot welded . But I see no where that the frame was altered or anything removed. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | How do you know its a '62? A '63 could have been sold late in '62 and titled as a '62... Just one thought.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,029 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,029 | Are you sure it is a 1962? Vehicles were registered as the year first sold rather than the model year in some states at that time. Do the numbers indicate that it is 1962? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 158 | If it was originally equipped with torsion bars, you should be able to see the crossmember where the torsion bars bolted up. It's welded to the frame, so even if they removed it, you should still see shadows.

I thought about the being built in late 62 but I was talking to CCP about their disc/ spindels kit and was having trouble with there parts. But turned out that it was me that had it wrong.
I did send a picture to the gallery section
Truck is a AZ truck with 93,000 on it now I bought it with 90k and have been having fun driving it every where. Wife laughs as I let the 06 dodge Hemi sit and I take the CHEVY instead.
I am yanking engine on tues to re build it. I have done plenty of engine and trans work ( build harleys now) but never owend a truck older than a 72 so these are new to me. Truck was a wedding gift from wife a few weeks ago. Been driving the wheels off it. Even let the Harley sit as well to drive this LOVE IT!!!!!!!! | | |
