Re: IML: Torsion Bar Front Suspension

["Dave" <Wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a note. We have had two trucks with torsion bar suspension: An 
International Travelall from the late 60's and a 1960 GMC half-ton pickup. I 
am not really sure what their purpose was in using torsion bars, but the 
trucks did ride quite nicely, and didn't seem to be lacking in load carrying 
or handling.

And, back in the U.S.A., the 1955-56 Clipper and Packard could be had with 
a 4-wheel torsion bar system with load-leveller.

With the arrival of FWD, both torsion bars and coil springs were generally 
replaced by MacPherson struts up front.
