 |
|
I need replace the rear torsion bars and spring arms on my 1960. Some of the ads I see indicate that the length was changed in late 50's or early 60's. Is there any information as to which would be the correct lenght?

The only reason I post is that you mention that you need to "replace" the torsion bars.... and you probably have already thought of this, but:
If you still had the old ones, could you not just measure them and then search for that length/size bar?
I'm sure you have your reasons to post this question.... and this suggestion is just a thought.

Unfortunately i'm replacing them beacause they were missing from the bus when I bought it, but thankyou for the suggestion, it would have never crossed my mind

to my knowledge the only change was from bd to post bd in mid '55
the only other change i can think of is from 3/4 ton to 1 ton but the lenth didn't change then the thickness did
