I like the color. Stock rims rule. Brake parts may be hard to come buy on this era cruiser; oddball axles even for a cruiser.

you can find all the break parts at your local toyota dealer. just be carfull with the break lines as e- 9/69 use a odd sized toyota thread. have fun

To ease lossening the old brake fittings, shoot with pb blaster several days/several times in advance. Make real sure the line isn't twisting insdie the fiting you're backing off. If it is, apply propane torch heat juduciously, and hold the line with vise grips while moving the fitting carefully til it breaks free of the line. Be sure to use flare nut wrenches.

as for the heat from a propane torch, i would heat the female side and hold a wet rag around the male side this causes a diff in temps between the two. making the male get smaller and the female bigger. just what grandpa told me to do, and it works every time. I agree with the PB blaster, it the best.

65swb45 are you asking me if im still 3 on the tree? I am, and i have no plans to change. I think that it gives the car a lot of class and style. And i also think that it makes it harder to steal, I mean who know how to drive a 3 on the tree these days.

I do




well, loosely defining "drive" that is

 

[nocents]

Anyone who knows how to drive can handle a 3 on the tree. It just those who only know how to stear that can't!!!!
