I want to put an 8cyl in but mines a front mount,would like to have disc in front and power steering, if I change the front why not the whole thing if I can, is this feasible ????????? Thanks [Reply]  [Send Email]

The control arms are differant and you would have to change the whole crossmember to use those parts. I don't know if the spindles will fit on the 60 arms. Why not get the 60-64 V8 mounts for your truck or build brackets for the side mounts. Power steering for those truck was on the tie rods and used the same gearbox. Check with LMC truck parts.   [Reply]  [Send Email]
