Yes, that's an original that moves it upward so it will clear 409
Did you check those upper and lower control atm bushings ???? I wear gloves doing por 15...
Yes me too, nitro gloves but that crap gets everywhere, new ball joints upper and lower and Upper and lower control arm/A Frame bushing when put together a year ago, after this is all done it is in bad need of alignment, it was all new from ground up and there is nothing close to being in alignment yet.
I do have that steering valve that is dripping...... I am thinking I better replace that before alignment?
Hopefully I can find someone who does old school alignments and not the newer style 4 wheel alignments, where they can set caster and camber etc, toe in/out

A four wheel aligner can do it . They cant do anything on rear ajustment any way except tell what the settings are. Be sure to mark threads before removing control valve that will affect steering wheel centering. Put new back on same threads depth.
sounds good, had no idea, thank you.
When I was removing rubber brake lines in the front, those lines were really dry rotted and cracked badly, probably not flowing much fluid, obviously the new brakes will use a different style, probably a banjo bolt style with crush washers, but I have some new brake lines for the original drums in one of my drawers, I better replace those rear ones also, these look like original equipment lol.
I am running all new hard lines up front, re-using hard lines to the rear, but definitely new rubber lines.

It only has one rubber line over the axle on rear. Replace it if you don't have it. Had one over axle was completely plugged on one of my trucks.
Sounds good, will do.

Well its Friday morning, I got my entire kit from 1958 delivery yesterday, what a TOP NOTCH kit, everything fits like a glove and looks so nice on there, going to start plumbing and hydraulics this weekend. There will be a little bit to figure out there but this a awesome kit, and he was able to get me the bigger rotor and pistons on the Calipers with the 1 1/8" bore Master cylinder, WIN/WIN. I cannot say enough good things about this kit.
Does this help
Is there a spacer required between rotor and knuckle that i think i see that is in picture??
Cant get any simpler than that!!!! On the line's ,can you can get all prebent to fit the valve, or have to Bend your own???? Looks like a very nice kit. Just my driving conditions would not benefit me putting them on around here.
