Installed rebuilt 11" x 2-1/2" brakes and new finned drums. Decided to wait with wheel bearings and seals until car is running so I can also check condition of gears and pinion seal and bearings. Axle bearings are quite worn, but seals weren't leaking.
Next I'll permanently install fuel tank and finish a few things on the body so I can apply a coat of epoxy primer and then join the body and frame before the weather gets bad.
I may have missed it somewhere through your blog, but what year rear end did you end up using?
ReplyDeleteIt's a '70 B-body. The width is perfect, but the spring perches have to be moved a little bit.
