There might be others found in the '60-'66 FAQ section
Cool so I’m guessing this was originally a torsion bar front suspension, then converted to coils. Looks like a 12 bolt in the rear. I need to get it in the air. Thanks for the info and the link! Big help. Also I was wrong about the hood it is steel. It was so light with the hinges it felt like fiber glass
