you can use type 3 brakes and nates offset plates. i'm not sure about your bearing caps though. i got type 3 axles with backing plates and bearing caps so it all went together nicely. |

Got a new baby girl so time is scarce.. i have one month before OCTO so i gotta hurry.. installed the motor now i have to install the starter and wiring and exhaust and hope it runs ... the brakes are already done so i think it i'll make it in time ! Titan red is an easy color to blend so the outside is gonna be last on the list.. keeps up the progress pics guys !

Try Oxalic acid on the dash. I remember it from the old Beer can collecting days. It removes rust without harming the paint.
You can get it at any Pharmacy. It comes as a powder that you mix with water, and saturate a rag with it and lay it on the dash for a few hours.
Trust me....... |

I hope I never have to replace a floor on a bus again!! The WW floor fit nice but the process was tough, this took a lot of work. At least for me it did. Before it gets pointed out, this was half way through. I wasnt finished welding yet, by the time I finished I wasn't in the mood to take pics .

Thanks! I will be patching the dogleg. I noticed the factory had some type of seam sealer? At the front and back where the floor was originally installed, what are you guys using?
Ya, shes been waiting for me to get to work on her, but I been collecting parts and Im shooting for driving it this summer, hopefully. _________________ '64 Java
