Free drum brake wheels; Massachusetts

I have 5 drum brake wheels from my '66 that are free for the taking.

They have old tires on them and will need repainted, but are not rusty.

Need them gone soon as they are in storage at a house that I have sold.

Who is John Dorcy?
Is he a member or a boneyard operator?

Still in need of '66 passenger rear fender (chunks)

Hi all, Have not been around for a while, life keeps getting in the way of my Toronado project. I am trying to get the body done this fall and I need a few relatively small pieces of a passenger side rear fender. I have tried pulling the dents out and I'm sure a real body man could do it, but that's...

Re: 1966 Toro Exhaust system

I have had 2 systems made by Classic, one for my '66 in stainless/2 1/2" and one for my '73 in aluminized steel, standard diameter. I have not installed the '66 system yet, but it looks like a good fit. The '73 system however was a total disaster where the pipes that attach the manifolds to the...

emergency request, '73 axle nut info

I don't have a parts manual for my son's '73 and the car is 250 miles away. In the process of having a state inspection done the inspecting station determined that he has a stripped axle nut. Would any of you be able to tell me the dimensions of this nut? Is it the same as the nut on a '66? This car...

Re: 1969 questions

I think the many conversions, including GM's inclusion of disk brakes in the later MY's would refute the claims that drums are the best option. If you intend to drive this car on the street daily or hard, consider the conversion. If its going to be a fair weather car that just heads to cruise nights...

Re: 1966 Anti-Sway Bar End Links

You are supposed to have to trim the ends off the bolts after installation, per the factory guide. The sleeves I have on my still un-assembled front end are 2.75" I have the original sleeves somewhere, can't locate them at the moment. I'd say with the car on the ground the anti-sway bar ends sh...
