Well, it's too late to close the door now.

A rear torsion bar set up with independent suspension would be wild. I'm sure it's possible, but a 4-link set up would be practical. There were a few minitruckers back in the day that used actuated torsion bar adjusters to rais the truck. Worked very well, but lots of work.

The last real Packards before being a disguised Studebaker had front and rear Torsion bars right from the factory btw..............

I know this is an old thread, but for my two cents worth, I love the front of the '61 Chrysler and the rear of the '60. I wish they would have left those gorgeous taillights alone for just one more year. That would be my custom idea. If I could find a set of those lights that a normal human being could afford, I'd sure put them on my '61. I know my poor mans budget will never allow that to happen though.
