You know who you are, hiding some "NoGo" parts. Whatcha got kicking around? I need more crap in the empty places of my soul!

:D
 
What are you looking for? I've got some old stuff off my 63
 
My wagon is pretty stripped down inside. I also just ditched my assist steering stuff and need original manual steering linkage. Molding maybe. V8 mounts. I guess I'm just looking to see what folks have laying about :) thanks
 
I have a 64 grill not perfect, an original chevy ii v8 oil pan (front sump), pick up tube, and replacement used oil pump. I believe I still have the oil pump drive rod, shorter than a normal rear sump sbc. possibly a few other trim pieces.
 
Think that oil pan with work on my 400sb driver dipstick?

And yes, what's in the stash? :D
 
Less than i remember. Couple Sets of front coils, subframe connectors stock radiator support qa1 double adjustable front shocks rebuilt heater assembly. There might be another Tub somewhere

Coils are aftermarket, i think 1 set for drag racing one for cornering
 
I have a few things I should list on the Nova Forum. Haven't been on there for quite a while.

I believe you did your suspension already...

Front Gabriel shocks bought thru NNN years ago w/ ~1k miles
Rear Monroe Load-Leveling shocks (w/ coil spring), ~1k miles
Orig Front upper control arms, blasted/primed
CPP Front upper control arms, NIB, black
Stock rubber bushings for lower control arms
A few gauge clusters: std '64 and a '63 SS
Full Power Steering Setup w/ pump and brackets (I saved from a parts car, prefer manual)

Don't think I have much interior-wise other than maybe steering wheels
 
CPP Front upper control arms, NIB, black
Are they taking up incredibly valuable floor space? Lol


Anyone else that frequents the online used parts APPs? Can you keep an eye out for Nova stuff?

Tried to get my car aligned but the shop said (with video also) that there is too much wear. They didn't charge me, which was nice. Heartbroken is an understatement. I brought it home. Looking for used parts, maybe a used CPP front conversion or just good stock parts someone had. 1 tierod, lower arm bushings and ball joints. Can't drive till I get that sorted :(
 
Eh, some space on my shelf... I can pull them out.
Sounds like you need to go thru all (top/bottom).
I was shown just the bottom bushings and ball joints. Joints looked freshly replace when I bought the car, PO said he did also. Bushings are terrible looking but I thoroughly enjoyed driving the car before so I didn't think much of it. One tierod end is missing the boot but I thought it was tight; recommended to replace.

So I'm after lowers and tierods for sure. If I can find a used set, great. Sometimes I find (rarely) just lowers and the brackets, which would be ideal. Your uppers would finish it off but I'm beyond broke, thats why maybe they were taking up precious space and you needed help moving them :haha: :doah:

I also have a feeling my i6/PG front springs just aren't going to cut it for v8/700r weight :(
 
Did the PO change the upper Ball Joints? The uppers take all the weight. Lower Arm bushings aren't too bad to do.
You can feel all joints and check. Missing the boot was prob a red flag for them and maybe it's dry too.
You have full iron block and aluminum intake? How does she sit in the front. Prob ok with those.
 
Full iron plus the 700r4. The camber alone changed enough to warrant alignment work, the toe was bad because I changed things.

Old drivetrain

Fronts are now even with the opening after drivetrain swap. Not tucking, but about to.

Might be too much "tech" for the "wanted" forum hahahahahahaha
 
Anybody know this place or person in Colorado? Wish I could find this kind of stuff right now. I don't think anyone is financially set enough to upgrade from good parts-> to better parts. So my search is coming up empty and I check every day lol
