Most of the undercarriage remains un-restored. Like the leaf springs, the original 8.5-inch 10-bolt rear axle housing a 3.08:1 gear set was repainted and reinstalled, and the factory spiral shock absorbers were repainted the correct color. "The original Super-Duty exhaust system with resonators was still on the car, but it couldn't be saved," added Steve. "So I went with stainless reproduction system from Gardner Exhaust Systems. It's one of the early systems that didn't yet include the correct-style resonators." The red-oxide primer throughout the entire underbody is completely original. The subframe was separated from the body, repainted the correct shade of semi-gloss black, and reinstalled with new rubber body bushings. Though he kept the original fuel and brake lines, the rubber fuel and brake hoses were replaced with modern units. The steel fuel and brake lines were chemically stripped to restore the factory appearance. View Related Article
