<VV> Newbie Q: 65-69 suspension on 60-63?

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Doable but not worth the effort.  Major re-engineering/ metal fabrication 
to the body.  Major.   Best bet is go with a 64 rear suspension.  And 64 
front or whatever year it has, with a sway bar.  That and good tires and 
some good shocks.  Also if desired front springs chopped one coil.  Will 
make for one 
very nice driving car.

A friend has a '63 with a '64 engine and suspension, but haven't been able to figure out if it's possible to put a 65+ suspension on a 'boxy' corvair.  Anyone heard of that?
