Both Max and Kanter appear to have the kits for Group 12.0313 Rear Axle Seal which include gaskets. Didn't see any separate entries for only gaskets.

DIY gaskets would be much much cheaper and should work well.

For max.

It's best to email Fred. If you can't find it.

Brakes are apart, drums have been sent out for turning.

BTV sent out for rebuilding.

will work on brake lines soon.

anyone ever put in a new fuel line with the body on the car? any tips?

rear axles have been pulled to have new bearings pressed on.

TL bushing kit ordered from Dwight.

generator pulled out and cleaned up.....is this a Chrysler Delco generator?

pulled the steering box off to clean it up and put in fresh oil and replace seals

The generator looks like a Delco which was rebuilt. I don't think the rebuilder's name on the tag has anything to do with the Chrysler Corp. The Delco generator would be appropriate for your Patrician. Chrysler products used an Autolite. Thanks for your updates.

Update:
new oil pump from Jack Vines installed, thinking of pulling rockers and giving them a good cleaning before startup.

I am in need of some brake drums, mine are worn beyond all hope, no luck sourcing locally. Mike Dulinski hopefully to the rescue, again. if the shop wont resurface them I don't know what to do. is there any point in continuing with out brakes? and yet I am

my version of the TL holding tool, a pipe hangar and some threaded rod. currently on the parts car as I removed the lower
A frame to replace the pooched one on my car(hope it holds)

received my bushing kit from Dwight Heinmuller

Awaiting a shipment from Tucson Packard


Torsion level links??? when I look at parts book it mentions links with 1, 2, 3, & 4 grooves. the links on my car has 2 grooves, the parts car has one with 5. is this correct? how much will putting them in my car raise it? maybe save an oil pan from road rash?

also discovered crawling under the parts car these revised adjustable compensator transverse load bars

That is really interesting.
I wonder who had that car, and did the modifications?

Unknown as to who is the architect of that was LTRD

Can’t find anywhere, where the load arm links had 5 grooves

So I am in need of rear brake drums. 11”x2”
Mine are shot. All I have are no good. Kanter does not have. Received a good front one from Mike D, but no luck on rear. Have contacted Max Merritt, still waiting to hear.

Any other vehicles have drums that would fit?Anyone have the Hollander interchange for 56-64 that can look it up for me?

Please and thank you!
