Re: The 1976 Beater Build - by Wixthedog

So the ol' girl needed some attention in the stance department and this is phase 2 of the build plan so we needed parts. Most items came from eBay and then a few from Summit Racing as well. No swiping of the AMEX this time, all PayPal!

McGaughys 2" Lowering Springs: PN 33128
Western Chassis 2.5" Spindles: PN 13100 (Returned twice due to damage in shipping!)
McGaughys 2.5" Spindles: PN 33153
Rear Axle Flip Kit: PN Unknown eBay (WC is 2104)
McGaughys Front Shocks: PN 1350
McGaughys Rear Shocks: PN 1850
Wheel Vintiques 37 Series, 15x8, 4" BS: PN 37-580504
Wheel Vintiques 37 Series, 15x10, 5" BS: PN 37-500505
Wheel Vintiques Police Caps: PN 1000-C

Other odds and ends:
New lug nuts all the way around, nothing too good for the Beater
New bolt in chrome valve stems.

Good news is that the spindles came in a really nice looking box, very heavy duty, from Summit via eBay. Bad news is that within the box was a shoddy torn up box that held a damaged spindle. Not the end of the world and the process to rectify it has been started, no doubt Summit will take care of it.

Since I am still away at work for another 2-4 weeks I have to live vicariously through pictures just like you!
