    Gene

    Here's another one, in Arizona
    Desert Valley Auto Parts.

    I called them today, they have two yards, over 7,000 classic and muscle
    cars.

    I'm still looking for the left tip of the rear bumper for my 64 LeSabre.

    They seemed like nice folks. I didn't write the number down,
    just google DVAP.COM

    I had to machine a spacer for the rear seal, but I made the Rivvy discs and
    calipers fit the LeSabre's spindle.

    off the shelf rotors will fit, but the spindles for the drums are 5/32" longer
    than the spindles for discs

    good luck
    Butch
