I need to know if your '60-'62 trucks have a hole in the front of the frame rail, behind the bumper, on the underside (side toward the ground) of the rail. This is in the area where a sway bar would mount.
My Suburban has matching holes on each side of the chassis, 10 inches back from the bottom edge of the front bumper. I just need to know if they all do.
Thanks,
-Brad

And I've never seen a '60-66 truck in the junkyard, pick-up or panel, that had a factory front sway bar.

Thanks.
That one won't work on a '60-62 though, because of the way it mounts on the lower control arm.
Still looking for someone with a '60-'62 to see if that hole is in all the frames.
