Great job by you! I would have gone the same route you did.

Get a set of 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels and whitewall tires. Trust me, you will love the look.

Craig is your go-to-guy for everything you need for your suspension and many other areas of your ride. Quality parts, reasonable prices & excellent service. Plus extensive knowledge of our old cars. You won't be disappointed.

The cordless technology is pretty good today. I still use my air impact at home but we use a DeWalt 20 volt half inch drive at work and it does great. Use caution on really rusted nuts and bolts, you don’t want to round them off. Sometimes a little heat goes a long way.

Make sure those threads are clean and not nicked up in any way. Good luck.

Have you tried Craig @mobileparts ? He knows his old parts and their correct applications. Good luck.

I heard it is getting very difficult to find 14 inch whitewall tires. Good to know Hankook has them. I can get them from my local tire dealer.

Contact Craig @mobileparts for good quality parts and customer service.

If I were to upgrade my Fury it would be with a factory set up.

Hard to beat the look of a Magnum 500

Does your Fury have a big block or small block? A/C or not? Trailer hitch? Most 11x 3 brakes IIRC were on big block equipped models and a hitch would indicate towing something that HD brakes would be beneficial. Back then though one could check off any option on the order sheet to get what...

If your drum measures 11x3.25 that is an 11x3 drum. Most Fury’s came with 11x2.75, the exception being HD front brakes. My Fury has 11x3.

On the front, the hub comes off with the drum. Remove the Cotter pin, the nut, washer & outer bearing. The drum should come off as long as the brake shoes are backed off. The hubs are “swedged” onto the drum. A machine shop should be able to remove the hub & press the new studs in.

Make sure the self adjusters are on the appropriate side. If not, your brake shoes will be adjusting out as you drive.

Try Murray Park in Tiffin Ohio. I believe his website is cbodies.com He can probably sell you one with the drum too if needed. Good luck.

Nope. IIRC ‘78 Furys were B-bodies.

Welcome! That is a beautiful wagon you have there. Do your lower ball joints need replaced? The reason I'm asking is that any new replacement you might find is going to be foreign made, and of inferior quality. If you put some fresh grease in the ball joints and then check for free play, you...

Stick with the OE style rubber bushings. I know of a few A & B body guys who used the polyurethane bushings and hated them. Took bumps way too hard and negatively affected their steering. I know of a guy who actually broke a strut rod using the poly bushings.

Do not do this! Your car will not stop well going forward but better in reverse. The shoe with the smaller area of lining material ALWAYS goes to the front. That is the way the systems were designed. These cars of ours are 4500 lb rolling slabs of USA made steel, you do not want to...

More than likely your VIP would have came with 11x2-3/4" up front. 11x2" on the rear. Get in touch with Craig @mobileparts. He is a member here who sells the older, high quality parts our cars need. He also has a vast knowledge of those parts and the different applications that were used...
