I ended up finding some NOS (New Old Stock) original suspension parts. They were new in the box, and despite some box wear, and some surface rust on some of the parts, they are in great shape. I got a heck of a good deal as well. $25 dollars per Box! The shaft kits were especially nice to find, as I needed to replace 2 of the 4 shafts on my car.
I am disassembling the upper control arms and shafts and will be sandblasting them for powder coating. I am in “Get ‘er done” mode and despite the weather being close to 100 degrees for the past 3 days, I am working feverishly to get the frame prepped for the paint that will be here Friday.
Here is the song I frequently hear playing in my head during this recent flourish of work on the Ranch Wagon these past 2 weeks!
Benny Hill would be proud.
Just want to let you know that I’m sharing this project on my blog.
Thanks
Tim
Great! I hope it can help out those who also have ’58 Fords. I enjoy your blog by the way. It has a wide of variety of car topics. Thanks Tim.
