Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart
So. The seller became non-communicative after last Friday when he sent me a photo of the title. I had asked for a photo of the fender tag as well. I sent him a text and an email as a reminder but heard nothing yet. I got curious and found him on facebook. Found out why. He has had some sort of death in the family :( and posted that he wouldn't be looking at his phone for awhile while he clears his head. I'll of course respect his privacy and request for time by himself. Cars take a backseat to family all day long.
So my pickup may be delayed by a week or so, I was planning on heading up there on the 5th after work. I still don't know if the car has manual brakes or steering or what size drums it has anywhere which makes ordering those parts difficult. I'm thinking of ordering and taking parts for all sizes offered.
A question:
I'm finding mixed results in searching for brake parts. Not sure if I have 9 or 10 inch brakes and what width. Is this something that can be gleaned from the fender tag or only through observation? Same for wheel bearings.
The only thing I have to go on are the hub/brake assemblies in the trunk. I'm crossing my fingers that this means the front end is at least partially rebuilt.
