Re: 60-63 frame

The X is one of the biggest differences for sure. Also, the front frame horns and front bumper mounts are different (shorter than 63-66), the rear section past the axle is wider on 60-62 (so also different bumper brackets), front cab mounts are spaced out wider, and the other major difference is the 60-62 trucks use a torsion bar front suspension while 63-66 use coil springs up front.
