Thank you, Howard! On the master, I'll have to keep looking as I will be using synthetic for sure but it's good to know that parts are available. The 156" wheelbase chassis was a thing of its own and shares virtually nothing with any other chassis. Even the rear spring mounts are moved outboard of the frame rather than inboard, making the rear much wider and, of course, the springs themselves are massive. My 1952 Henney-Packard Nu-3-Way weighed 6200 lbs! This 1951, being an ambulance, is a bit lighter but not my much.

Because my shop is so very rural and has no power yet (other than a long extension cord), I like to locate, order and have delivered anything I'll need when I'm up there as it's a full day spent if I have to go to Napa in person but the next time I will have to go as I'm taking an Imperial 413 engine to their machine shop for rebuilding.
