    front braided line question...

    Soo.. my brain overthinks everything and makes me nuts.. this is probably fine but with brakes i would rather ask and be safe. I pulled my upper control arms today to put in offset bushings which i should have done when i put them on months ago, but anything worth doing once... So.. i look at...

    Backing plates when switching from tapered axls?

    So.. ordered axles last night from drdiff so i can put in my 4.57 sure grip (will have to change those gears eventually but for now it will be fun) And i just want to verify that i need to also get later backing plates? Wasn't sure since i will have green bearings and no need for the end play...

    Flex line length...

    So i finally got my brake system in and the stainless flex lines for the calipers seem pretty long, they came with the pirate jacks kit.. Thing is, i think if they were shorter they wouldn't be able to make the turn to get into the frame mount, they are pretty stiff. They don't kink or get near...

    Split/crack around new drums?

    So, bought new drums so i can get my rear end back together (Waiting on 1 seal!) Anyway.. the drums showed up and both have this split in them, i have seen pics of other brands with the same thing.. is this just a processing thing? I haven't worked on any drum brakes in over 20 years but i don't...

    Disc brake on tapered axle?

    So.. i'm pretty sure the answer is no.. but i got my rear end apart today, which was anti-climatic.. no massive fights to get the hubs off or anything. basically i need to replace every single but of brake hardware/drums and the cost will come out close to a disc brake conversion.. But i don't...

    u-bolts with flat top?

    Hi guys, was just curious if anyone knows of a place that sells rear u-bolts with the flattened top like stock? All i seem to find is the round ones that seem like they would dig into the axle tube and crush it a bit, am i over-thinking it? Starting to put the rear of the car back together and...

    Quick '62 shackle question..

    Am just missing shackles for my rear end now, was just curious what years cover '62 rear shackles? Like 62-74? Already bought bushings.. didn't know pretty much every shackle kit comes with bushings.. they will end up laying around forever now. P.S. my ESPO springs showed up, very nice :) can't...

    Anyone got a pic of +1" springs on a early b-body?

    Emailed ESPO to order new springs this morning but not sure if i want stock or 1" lift, i do like a little but of a stance but my old springs were 60 years old and not sure how much they had sagged, was hoping someone might have a pic or 2 of their car with 1" springs, i just don't want to end...
