progress
well i got the 63 rear all finished except the passenger emergency brake swing arm which i need a new clip for and is already painted. When that gets here i can finish the brakes on passenger side and make new brake lines. Today, I finished removing the stock 53 rear and saved the e-brake cables (they were in good shape still), lubed them up a little and made sure they both worked well. Now that the rear is out I can tackle removing the rear springs. When i get them out, ill send them to be blasted and i'll paint them and remove some leaves to lower the truck. I think im gonna be busy. Also my heads and intake are supposed to come later this week or early next week so im super excited to get those polished up and installed

I think it was Parts Source but Napa, WSSL or Sutherland Automotive.
A lot of places should have `em.

I prefer to go out back and grab what I need to get the job finished while it`s still fresh in my mind. I hate the wait.....
In your case ordering works too.
