Re: '66 Deluxe

You've got me convinced of the need to upgrade brakes. My bus is a 64, but when I first tore it down from original - had a small nut transaxle & had to buy rear brakes for a 63. These conversion kits seem to be different between those two model years. What specific info do I need to get the rig...

Your '68 will have IRS, if your alignment problem is in the back all of this does not apply.

Probably bad trailing arm bushings.

Re: '65 Standard

Ted, what are the functional differences between a single piston and 4 piston setup? It seems like you see 4p on race cars, Corvettes, and other high end vehicles and single piston on most production vehicles.
