Last week I ordered some stuff from Rockauto.com. Carb kit for a marvel-schleber carb (for a '48 moline Z tractor), and some brake parts for my own '53. I have a Ford Maverick rear end in my car and over the winter one of the wheel cylinders made a puddle on the garage floor. The drum on that side tends to get stuck on the axle flange and this time I bent it getting it off. Decided to just get 2 new drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, and a spring kit. I'd previously cheaped out on this and just had the drums dusted off and put new seals in the cylinders from the junkyard axle.
Maybe I will get this car out of the garage after a year(!) and be at the zone meet in WI this September....
Any rate, the parts came in 3 shipments and the last box was on my porch when I got home from work today.
As folks who order from Rockauto will know, they usually toss in a tool box or garage beer fridge magnet featuring a customer's car.
Got one in the first box the other day and was surprised to find a 2nd one lurking almost un-noticed in the box I got today. Glad I spotted it.
Congratulations Duane!
