Complete brake overhaul on my 53 210. converted to tapered front wheel bearings at the same time. fixed some leaks from the transmission and oil pan plug. Finally got on the phone and ordered a complete stock interior that I will be assisting in installing. Still need to fix the heater and the radio.....whew!
Cheers,
Dave
