    Rear-end rebuild update

    i'm not possitive but it might be 3/4. The diff is easily removed from the crossmember, just be carful with your gears.

    Noise at Rear Wheel on '71

    Might be your bearings. disconnect the half shaft on one side and take off the wheel. and play with the spindle to see if theres any movement back and forth. I'd say if they haven't been replaced before then its definitely time now. $62 for both sides if you do the work yourself. You can also...

    Question: How do you properly store t-tops when removed??

    The rain was absolutly terrible this year in mass. June was the worst one since 1926 and it probably rained 28 out of 31 days.

    Parking Brake not working

    no not at all. All you need to do is fab up a spindle knocker and your good to go. Autozone might have one on the rent-a-tool program. Also for the T/A bushings you can go to home depot and make your own bushing press for probably less than $10. Being out in AZ you shouldnt have a big problem...

    Important! I want to buy WHEELS any suggestions on 20 or 18 inch

    well if you want a good wide performance tire and deep dish, i would go with 16 or 17''. You'll have more options to choose from and they'll look snug with the wheel well.

    Important! I want to buy WHEELS any suggestions on 20 or 18 inch

    I say 17's would look good enough. I would stay stock but they just dont make good enough tires anymore for 15's.

    Parking Brake not working

    I agree^^^. To do the e-brake you need to pull the spindle so you mind as well do the bearings. its like $32 a side for bearings if you do them yourself. Good luck.
