Bonjour! The body brackets of my '57 are too rusted for making their job. Have I to manufacture it or can I find that new ?

Hi, I have a problem with a piece of my right steering but I don't know the english name of it... You see on the picture, the axe is twisted because the rubber is older than me. I need to find that for the both ends and the both sides.

A friend of mine found a 58 in a field in Northern Alberta that he may pick up(just for parts, he's a chevy guy) But he says it has factory air suspension in it, like some 58 chevs were ordered with. Anyone ever hear of such a critter? Or know how rare it might be? I haven't seen the car, but he says its prett...

I know i have something bent in my front end but i can't tell exactly what piece i need to get or maybe i need to get it all. This car must have hit something before and the idler and tie rods are a little out of whack because the part that is secured to the front axle is pushing up into the oil pan. If anyone has a...

Diving right in with a question, I did do an intro though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the chassis and it's components (suspension, diff, etc) all Chevrolet? Ie, can I order ball joints, tie rods, diff bearings and the like for a Chev?

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out if I should restore the original drums brakes on my 1957 Laurentian or buy a complete disk brakes kit. I imagine it would be probably a lot cheaper to restore my original brakes, but security-wise is it safer to go with disk brake? Anyone has ever installed a disk kit? Do...
