Chevrolet showcases a redesigned suspension for 1960 trucks aimed at a car like ride and improved durability. Independent front wheels, torsion bars, and redesigned frames reduce ride harshness, wheel hop, and chassis damage while cutting cab height and increasing interior space. Tests show front and rear suspensions delivering smoother handling and lower unsprung weight across models.
The 1960 Chevrolet trucks receive major updates including rubber-mounted cabs with larger windshields and full-width hood fenders, rebalanced chassis for better stability, and cab placement increasing front-suspension load. Powerglide auto trans debuts on light-duty models along with six and eight cylinder options, bigger brake sizes, hydraulic clutch, improved oil control, new manifold, three point engine mounting, and optional front-end power take-off for heavy-duty engines.
