(2) 60 amp panels

[sjaniga]

Recently I've been asked to change a two-family house into a single family unit. Each unit has a 60 amp panel, and is fed from a two-meter box. Can I simply remove the two-meter box, install a single meter and upgrade the mast to 150 amps, I am looking at 230-40 Exceptions, will I need a disconnect outside next to the meter before I feed the two panels?
Does anyone have any ideas or a code reference?

If the existing panels are not next to each other, 230.70 and .72 will require disconnects at the meter.

Would eight feet apart, in the same room be considered grouping?

Suggest installing a 200 amp combo panel/meter socket. Then feed each one of the existing 60 Amp panels from the new panel.
