Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Thread 1960 3/4 Ton C-10

You can change your entire front suspension to the '73-'87 suspension and do away with the torsion bars. It is a little more work (hole drilling) than on the '63-'66's, but it has been done by many.

I know there is a thread or two on here that describes the '60-'62 suspension swap in more detail, but I can't find it at the moment. I believe markeb01 started one of them.

I can help with the power brake conversion bracket, but I don't have a power steering adapter plate for the '60-'62's at this time.

I did not see options for the 1960. I want to get the least expensive conversion done for front and rear disc brakes, power steering, and power brakes. I plan to install disc brakes in the rear at a later time, so I want to convert with that in mine.

For now, I want to convert to front disc brakes. I need to know what year donor vehicles' parts will bolt on for the conversion. Please advise.

I want to go with power steering and power brakes on this 1960. Please advise what year donor vehicles will bolt on. The master cylinder on the 1960 has 3 bolts mounting it to the firewall. I notice that all of the other master cylinders have 4 bolts mounting the master cylinder to the firewall. Please advise a solution.
