Research help
I recently came into possession of a 1960 gmc carryall and I'm planning to restomod.
My plan of action is:
1. Body and wood bed
2. Suspension
3. Engine and trans
4. Electrical
5. Interior
6. Paint
I've been told the 60 frame requires more modifications because of the torsion bar front end and the rear end is wider dimensionally compared to a 62-66.
Can anyone direct me to a good resource for getting dimensional drawings on the 62-66 frames?
Also in the opinion of the group would it be better to purchase a later frame (62-66 or later) rather than do modifications to the existing frame?
Dimensionally would a long wheelbase pickup frame bolt in directly or is the carryall based on a shortbed?
I have found manufacturers who make suspension kits for the later models 62-66 but nothing yet for a 60. Does the group know of a resource I could purchase parts.
For clarity this is my first restoration and if I've asked silly questions it is because I lack experience but the goal is to get this vehicle back on the road and out of the junkyard so please forgive my ignorance.
