Okay members,
Here's the $19.95 question. I have a 62 Chevy C20 with the "Torsion Bar" front suspension. Its all 8-lug with a corporate 14 bolt in the rear. The frame is a "k" type all boxed and is in great shape with no weaknesses. The truck is now painted minus wiring, ready for its new powerplant. I have all new SW electronic gauges in the custom dash.
What is the opinion and advice of the members on whether the torsion bars would support a 6.5 TD or the new duramax. I do believe they are adjustable but I am concerned about their ability to support the added weight of the motor. Comments are welcomed. The thought of having a torque monster over a gas guzzling SBC or BBC really appeals to me. I remember shredding some tires with my old 6.5 TD in my 92.
Regards,
S.
