I had a '63 Buick with them too. 13 inch wheels!

I worked on a '60 Pontiac that had them also.

I drive it all over, N.Y. to Virginia , N.Y. to Hersey Pa Lime Rock Ct for the Corvair convention.

I meant I wouldn't want to go to a prts store and look for anything. The people who work there would just look at it with a blank stare.

I however, WOULD drive it everywhere. I think those things are cool.

Pull in with my 1963 Corvan

I wouldn't even attempt to........

I always say do as much or as little as you want. As long as you are happy with the results that's all that matters.

Ufff...

I tell you a secret - I didn't do that

Haven't blasted and painted brake shoe bases either.

Just pretty sure no one would see those areas and

nothing bad about any technical issues.

Sure you should do things the way you're completey

satisfied of.

I always say to do as much or as little as you are happy with.

But it seems to me sometimes I should achieve satisfaction of 90% only.

I should go ahead and can't afford redoing some things twice or three times just because I'm not 100% happy of how it's done.

Luckily for me Vlad, the frame on my b model is not rusty at all. It still shows much of it's original factory red paint.

Nice boat, no "butts" about it!

Things are a bit better since Al Gore invented the internet. If I can find a part number on something like an old grease seal or other parts I can search the web based on the manufacturer and part number. I usually have good results. I just have to wait for the big brown truck to show up after a few days.

All that is true, but I figured the NAPA store I went to would know what one was.

I'm still fairly new to this site. So I'm guessing that none of you are fond of Volvo trucks???? Or am I missing something? 😉

Being not much educated about English concepts I always thought it was the way I did it

Reading about your front hubs I'd say you have nice

chances to examine it yourself

I was noticing the picture of the frame sections. It looks like you completely separated them from the crossmembers.

My father and I did something similar on his Ford truck when we restored it. There was rust in between the crossmembers. We had to grind the rivets off and have everything blasted and the reassembled everything with grade 8 bolts. That was in 1999/2000 and it is still holding strong.

That's a true way. Just long a little bit

On this particular b 42 the threads are all right hand.

Wow Vlad. You give new meaning to the term" frame up".

Looks great! Keep the pictures coming.

Great. Now that I know how to get the drum off, I have just created a little more work. Oh well. It's going down to the bare frame anyway.

I learned the hard way too about left hand threads on a Road runner (I think it was) in high school auto shop.

I twisted off two lugs also before I figured out why they seemed so dang tight!!

Look for a tag on the passenger door and on the frame right behind the right wheel and in front of the spring hanger.

See. I knew it would pay off to ask the right people.

Thanks a ton.
