I wonder if I could impose on at least one of you Packard men
to check my search for compatible parts for the Disc brake conversion I'll be posting my pictures and information tomorrow. This is just to help others The biggest problem with this conversion is the Rotor. the F150 is a 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern. The Packard is 5 x 5. Now using Timken wheel bearing, the outer are Set 12, Inner set 13. I found that a few Ford cars used the same Timken sets, and are also 5 x 5 bolt pattern. If we can lock this down, then we don't have to go through either drilling new bolt pattern or going with wheel adapters... I don't like either of those choice. I found that of the Fords that use both the inner and outer Timken are the 1973 Ford Galaxie 500.. 75 Ford Thunderbird and about 80 others, that show but if you can at least confirm that the Galaxy is a 5x5 and uses both of the Timken bearing set, then we have it made... If you could email me direct at Sanddoc@gmail.com I've made a mistake when I thought the 79 Continental was a match... (Note) Thanks..

Best thanks for your reply and interest I was going to post the the pictures and "article" today but decided to wait until I have some paint work finished I'm only going to show the driver side when I do post this. which should be by Wednesday the 16. Again thanks

Hi All
On the 56 400, what was used between the body and the skirt for cushioning? What is being used now and what method of attaching to the skirt is used. Also when I first bought my car, it had been painted all black, yes even the engine compartment in most places but not all. My question is what color was the sheet metal pan covering the space between the radiator and the grill, same a the body or black? thanks

What is the preferred method of holding the Torsion Load Arm while
removing the upper and lower control arms. My local AutoZone did not have the J6065 tool....... Best

Gentlemen
I to have run into the problem with the older plastics breaking. Interesting not on my 56 Packard, but on my 62 Ford and my 74 Dart swinger. I thought I had the answer to all of these problems by using the (3d printing) but even though I live in Los Angeles, I can't seem to find such a business that is not flakey , I did just find out that Office depot does 3d printing. what is needed is the scanning, scan the parts then have them either made with 3d or have a mold made... On my 62 there are to many angles to try and fiber glass it, I tried, I tried super bonding clue, nothing would hold the plastic. But I think the 3d might be the way to go... Anyone have any thought on this. Best
