those are some great pix and I really appreciate the side by side observations, that helps a lot.  If you don't mind my asking what kind of a price did you get all that for and if I wanted to get another seat of out board disc hubs would you be willing to pick them for me and how much $$$ ??? I would need the hubs and the stub axles, but not the entire half shaft.

About $500 for the whole mess which seems to be somewhat reasonable from what little I've been able to dig up. The yard dinged me for the extra shafts and hubs, about $70 each, and of course all the parts like disc brakes and calipers have core charges. If we can manage to get the axles and brake parts off it might be cheaper, it's hard to tell with this place.

a) It wasn't the worst junkyard job I've ever worked on but it's clear I need some better tool cartage.

I'm just glad that bolt broke off the driveshaft so I didn't have pay for *that* too...


This is all intended to be built up onto a cradle/crossmember somewhat similar to what Daze has done, for installation into a '66 Falcon sedan.

A coworker has a shop and has offered the use of his tube bender to fabricate a cage for this, so after getting it in place and taking a million measurements we'll head to his place and come up with a plan. Unfortunately, he doesn't have room to take the car itself over, so it'll be interesting to see how things pan out.


I suspect he'll be popping his nose in here sooner or later.

Yeah, yeah, twist my arm
