Rear shocks are done!! The rear sits totally different, even though the gas tank is out. Its good I didn't jump the gun and spend money on new leaf springs!
Onward to the front.....
Thanks,
Adam

Re: 66 Toro Leaf Spring Quandary(s)
Maybe I'm a little off but... I think the early Toros have a "SPEEDRACER" kinda look!! Anyway..... I got the gas tank out yesterday and all the wiring etc out from the trunk, tail lights and bumper off. Whew...... !! Ooh... my fuel sender works! (See separate post) it goes from 0ish - 90is...

Re: 66 Toro Leaf Spring Quandary(s)
xgecko... That is exactly the shot I was looking for! Mine look the same.... I was questioning the leaf springs because my rear seams a lot lower than the front. I took a look at the torsion bar setting and the jack boot is threaded all the way in! I don't think that's right.. Once I'm done with all...

Re: 66 Toro Leaf Spring Quandary(s)
Thanks... I checked it out... I like the site! They have bushings but no insulators.... It would still be great if I could see a pic of a mono leaf on a Toro for my fyi though! I still may pursue fabricating my own. I have a machine shop near me that we used at a company I used to work for. I'm goin...

66 Toro Leaf Spring Quandary(s)
Hello All, I've been searching for replacement mono-leaf insulators for my 66. I'm having a hard time finding any. I believe them to be shot because.. a) they look cracked, b) they look thin, and c) the flat section of the leaf is actually digging into the brake cable boots(I believe its the e-brake...

Re: ?.. 66 olds chassis service manual/Fisher Body Manual
Twilight, I got the chassis service manual from Faxon literature... it's in pdf form on a CD. The total page count of the file was 1250 pages or so(I will verify that when I get home from work.) I will look for and scrounge through the sections your pointing to. Thanks for clarifying this for me! Al...
