No need to worry about the horns, there isn't a thing on this car in good condition.

Dang, looked pretty decent in that bottom picture, but hard to tell... Oh well, thanks for checking!

Excellent n.n though, I should point out the horns need to be in very good condition. I've got a pair of driver-quality ones at the moment. So, if they are rough, no need to put in the effort.

And please do let me know on the hazard switch.

Thanks either way!

Hello, I've got a couple parts I'd really like to find for my '66 Toronado... The most important thing I need is a pair of the front bumper 'horns'. The two end pieces of the front bumper that bolt onto the center section, and are the chrome parts under the fender-fins. Also, should I be incredibly ...

Hahaha, no :P The bearings are pressed onto the spindle, they don't fall out. Unfortunately, I'm going to be less than helpful, because I'm not sure how you'd go about just packing them. Replacing my bearings was hands down the WORST part of converting my '66 to disc brakes, and rebuilding the front...

I got mine in a front suspension rebuild kit from Kanter:

Down at the bottom there is the 66-72 Toro kit. Rebuilt my whole front end with that kit last winter, been holding up great so far...

Yeah, they were stuck on mine too... I used a balljoint separator, tightened as much as I could, then wailed on it with a mini-sledge... They both came off, but took some doin Great for getting out any pent up rage XD

Hello, quick question for you, I'm looking for a new pair of the front bumper ends. The little horn-shaped portion of the bumper that follow the fender fins.

Are these in need of re-chroming as well? If not, would you be willing to sell these separately?

Not strictly speaking Toronado related... But it is Oldsmobile related, and pretty awesome... Had GM not forced Olds to scrap the project, it easily could have wound up in one of our cars :D Some components were even based on the Toronado! http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?...

You CAN use 67 axles in a 66, but you need an adaptor bushing. The 67+ shafts are a s,aller diameter than the original 66. They used to make them... I believe they are still available, but not sure where...

Well... Seems an update is necessary o.o
