Excellent suggestion Richard. You must live somewhere warm!! Unfortunately there are probably only a dozen 60s era Ford, Chevy or Dodge vans left in Michigan and most aren't mobile. The rust worms ate these vans up long ago. There's not much of a chance of spotting one in the parking lot at Walmart.

I'm hoping to locate photos and dimensional information that would have been in tech/repair manuals. Do you know of any that are available online? Truck and van stuff doesn't seem as available as passenger car stuff.

Do you know of a supplier that might carry replacement suspension items for 60s van & light truck applications?

Thanks,
Ken
