Chassis: Rear axle is a non original completely rebuilt (seals brakes and drums) GM 10 bolt with Auburn positraction with Richmond 3.73 gears. Front is a CPP mini front end aftermarket front
suspension assembly with tubular upper and lower A-arms disc brake conversion and 1” sway bar.
All modifications are bolt on and have not deviated from the factory appearance or factory assembly points should you wish to return to the problematic original front end design.
Brakes have been converted to power assist disc front and drum rear with 1967 Chevy II brake lines to use a dual line rather than a dangerous single line that all 66 Chevy II were manufactured with.
While it is not period correct 66 it is very similar to 67 and much safer and pleasure to drive.

Restoration photos provided, Trim and chrome is in excellent condition as it is brand new with a few original GM pieces (headlight bezels rear Chevy II emblem).
