Disc Swap

[AAR65]

Found a 71 Fury in the boneyard Saturdy with a very nice set of disc brakes up front. Would they bolt on to my 65 Sport Fury?

Boneyard said $50 takes them. Might grab just because.

 

[commando1]

Grab them regardless.
Like finding a 10 dollar bill on the beach and you're alone.
You don't walk by it.

 

[saylor]

grab all of it you need all the parts

 

[ANGRYJOE]

50 bucks! That is a smoking deal at twice the price! you'd be insane not to grab every bit of it. I'd be on it like stink on poo. Spindles should swap and I've read that even the brake lines can be used.

AAR65, wow finding a classic car in our junkyards around here is an accomplishment. Most junkyards may have one or two old cars but they are few and far between. I promise I wont vulture the parts you found, do you mind telling me which yard? And do we know each other or have we met, since we are in the same area. Henry

 

[AAR65]

For $75, I got everything incl the hardlines, master, booster, and pedal. PITA in 92 degree heat. C Body Bob sent me out the stuff I need tfor the power brake and power steering stuff, so my Baby Beast will get some shop time by mid next week. I guess I will tell YOU guys if the swap works. If not I have some shelf stuff to add to the hoard.

I would not have left without for fear someone would get before I got back, that's my luck.

Henry, my shop is at Okee and Military, The yard is U-Pull-N-Pay off benoist farms. In the same spot they keep those 6-10 ol cars at any given time. Same place I bought my 65 442 from when a guy lost his house and pulled in to scrap it.

Thanks, what shop? you have a body shop, service center? Spearmint Rhino, is close to you, I need to swing by. I just stopped going into the yards cause I rarely find anything.

Now when are we taking our Fury's to terrorize the streets. :3gears:

Most of the yards are hit or miss down here,but they do get in a few old cars down there on Benoist. Every time I go there I still feel like a kid in a candy store! There's always something I can salvage and put to good use.:yaayy:

 

[AAR65]

One thing you won't find at any urban type bone yard is people that don't know what they have. Wasn't very long ago the same yard had a late 50's Chrysler with a very rusted hemi in it sitting in the waiting yard. Those cars generally have to sit for a month before they go in the general population. I know the guy who was able to buy it and he spent $4k getting out of there. The yard is 99% what you would expect. that 1% will def intrigue you. I bought a turbo engine and trans out of a 66 Corvair for $300 two years ago just because they offered to pull it for $50. The car had a Destruct title meaning it could never be titled again. Cool stuff from time to time. But you would never make a living buying parts and eBaying them.

You'd be surprised what you can make work on our cars.Power window motors all the way up thru the eighties will work with most Mopars,then there are also plenty of A-518 overdrive transmissions if your up to making the swap,not to mention good used rims,misc trim pieces,electric cooling fans,etc. Sometimes you got to think outside the box.There definately isn't as much of the old stuff showing up anymore,but if you frequent the yards and happen to show up at the right time,they can be a bargain hunters dream! On the plus side,most of the pull your own yards are very reasonably priced for those of you that have tight budgets.It helps to own an interchange manual too!

That I did not notice. It was very complete minus the drivetrain a few weeks ago. Heading back Saturday to gran some brakes off an 02 Jimmy. Those bolt on any G Body GM and triple your stopping power. I did the swap on my 9 sec 81 Malibu and now it is time to do my 9 sec 78 Malibu. Both cars run 140+ in the quarter but only one stops.lol

I would much rather spend a day at a salvage yard, then a day at Disney World. I hate crowds.

I had a neighbor once. His name was Randy and he talked in the 3rd person every time he opened his mouth. One day upon learning I was a Mopar guy he tells me

"Randy had factory 73 Hemi Cuda street car in high school that that Randy and his Dad built that was a 7 second street car, fastest car in the country and in several magazines".

I asked him where he got the Hemi and he says

"Randy's dad ordered the Hemi Cuda from the local dealer back in 73 because Randy's old man was a factory race car driver and factory sponsored race car drivers could get anything back then"
