Re: Front End Kit for '64 B-body

[musclecarguy1@xxxxxxxxx]

Order the super kit from pst. If your going to have this job done, do it once and be done with it. I had a local shop put my front end kit (original rubber kit) in my 64 years back but recently had them put a pst super kit in my 72 charger rallye. They did the complete front end (polygraphite kit)of which I bought beforehand, put on new rotors (i paid for) and repacked wheel bearing, etc since they were already into it all. Had them do the back brakes while it was on their rack. Belive it ran me right about 1200.00  Buy the full kit, don't mess around. Lyle in Montana
