Re: '66 Custom Camper workhorse project

Got the old gal into the shop this weekend.




Drove about 8 hours to get my transmission last weekend.



And scored some disc brake spindles and rotors at the junkyard today. I went in search of a complete front end, but they disassemble the front end as soon as the rigs arrive. Everything they had was missing the lower control arms, and only one rig had the spindles and rotors left. So, for now I'll use the original control arms with the late model spindles. I want the rubber control arm bushings of the later models, but will make do with what I have for now. Some day I'll find a whole truck for a reasonable price.

Now, the fun begins.
