Yesterday a GMCer came by to install a one ton front end.
I've been known to help install in one day but this time.
We couldn't get the torsion bars to slide out of the arms.
Apparently he had twenty sets made fifteen years ago.
The torsion bards are the same length as the GMCs.
The hex parts fit in the arms snugly.
The shaft diameter is thicker than original.
He claims they are twenty five percent stronger.
I ended up cuting the tips off the arms with the torsion bar attached.
I also took the arms to the welder and weld the brackets with the
torsion bars attached.
My point to this is that he sold most of the torsion bars to one
person in Oregon but he doesn't remember who.
If anyone has any information on these torsion arms.
I'm wondering if they were used in Buskirck stretches.
They are powder coated white.
