Re: 1960 Apache short/fleet big window

It has torsion bars for the front end. they can be adjusted down but spindles are the best way to go so the adjusters don't hit driveways.

If you want to convert to power steering, the captain fab kit sounds great but requires a lot of work, cutting and welding. I installed a CPP kit, but they had repackaged the hardware and bracket somewhere along the line, didn't know about it, and got hell from me. They made it all right and it worked great.

And if it is a coil spring rear truck, the shocks hang off the rear of the arms, not in front of the axle. the CPP Deluxe track bar kit wont work without mods to your existing shock mounts.

I am wrapping up going through a 60 Apache from top to bottom (not a restore, just making it NOT a death trap)... so ask me any questions.
