Builds 80 coils on a 60 series? Yes we've done that a handful of times now (1 Viewer)

This is pretty damn slick. I've been dreaming of this swap for a while and this will make it easier to do.

Oooh... Guess I'll start looking for an 80s front axle. And will have a cable locked 61 axle for sale.
What's needed for steering changes?

I'm about to get an 80 axle, now I'll feel bad about hacking off all the suspension mounts

I was one of said customers who had the crap scared out of them. I didn’t even feel the curb we drove over at speed. Super impressed how the suspension absorbed it all.

 

[Well Sorted]

Nicely done guys. Would like to see more shots of that rear setup and maybe speak to you about getting a kit to install/demo for our CO cruiser community...

 

[nukegoat]

Awesome!

 

[mongoose2231]

What a great setup. Sometimes I wish I could just buy an already built and modded truck and call it a day....

 

[torfab]

Well you can always buy a truck that's done, but you won't be able to leave it alone

 

[torfab]

Took a few minutes on Friday to make a little video of this truck in action, please note - not a professional driver

 

[torfab]

Pretending to flex, it's the biggest mound I could find

 

[Hojack]

I want some R2.8 engine shots...

See what you did? Pooping is now the #1 suggested YouTube video after viewing Tor's video.

 

[60 mad]

Just wondering do you think this would work on a right hand drive 60 ?

 

[torfab]

You'll need a RHD axle set (which I actually have), and I will need to check if I can build the panhard brackets in reverse.

 

[60 mad]

Fair enough it’s just that I’m located in Australia and have been looking into doing an 80 chassis swap but also open to other ideas such as this setup do you send stuff to Australia at all ?

 

[torfab]

Shipping to aus sucks but we can make it happen. It’ll be better if you can do a group buy

 

[MarkBC]

I'm about to get the 80 front axle. I asked for all the associated arms and springs and hardware. Do I want the driveshaft as well? Anythjng else?

 

[torfab]

You'll need the front axle, radius arms, panhard bar, nuts/bolts, pitman arm, coils, brake lines.

 

[torfab]

Here's what the fab kit looks like available for sale

This is all well and good but when are we going to see the 60 leafs on the 80 series?
