I'm thinking all the dealers will work off the same price list but if you like I can sure check at our dealership to see how much that stuff would be. 

If you can see the numbers on the tag still I should get them from you. If I am remembering right (I've been retired nearly 4 years now!) there is an early and later design spindle. That tag will give us the model year.

 So googled and came up with a few videos how to replace bearings as spindle it's self is good.

Not in my drive, but in the aspiring to be a mechanic kids across the road.

Had him change the oil in the 69 whilst I sat on my porch having an ice cold one.

Just made it back home from T.O. 17+ hr drive. Went up to visit in laws and nieces. Did a little scouring and ended up with (3)66 Acadia/Chevy II doors, Acadian/Chevy II under rear seat pan and cross member(new), trunk pan and tank braces (new), complete rear seat, 66 Chevy II SS tail panel and 3 sets of rocker trim (1 set with rocker, door, and quarter trim, 1 set door and rocker, 1 set rocker only), (4) 67 Chevelle/Beaumont front fenders, and a pair of 67 Chevelle/Beaumont bucket seats. Now all I gotta do is work on something! Heres just a couple pics

 I broke the pulley trying to get it off to remove spindle. Had a hard time removing the key in the keyway. Once that was out we stripped the shaft and removed the bearings. got new ones on order. now i have to remove the other 2 spindles with out breaking the pulleys

Do you have a dealer close by? It seems to me the pulley is a bit special but I'm not positive.

 Not sure why he's laying in front of the car for an oil change, unless maybe he's got long arms.

Kijiji, Marketplace, and stevesnovasite.com

the rocker trim and taillight panel comes from 3 different people, and the rest came from 3 other people again. I knew Id be in Ontario at this time since March, so i found stuff since then. I wouldve come back with a lot more, but that was a truck full. I had originally planned to take the flat deck trailer and drop off the 66 Acadian in Quebec that I had sold, and haul back something to flip. That went out the window when I realized that the inspection was up last month, and not next year like I had thought.

A little cooler day today, so back at it with the 07 Ford STX Truck i bought from my son. For those of you who dont know f150 line up. The STX only came with A/C , no power options. so I am adding what i want. (Power heated tow mirrors with turn signals, power locks and windows.Tach. Android touch screen radio.) its been a great father son project. Im hoping to get my son back on track with it as he was distracted with getting married this past weekend.IMG_2016.pngIMG_4526.jpeg
