We drove down from Washington in my silver 67 Belvedere. Really enjoyed the show and bought a few things in the swap. We’ll run show with lots of great cars. Already planning for next year. We put about 3000 miles on the Belvedere so it now has 23,000 original miles on it.

Heading down on Wednesday.

@72bluNblu, My 66 Valiant wagon had a factory installed 16:1 steering box and 245/60/14 tires. It was very heavy but responsive driving down the road. It just wasn’t for me.

No

Have you driven your car with manual steering? A-bodies in my opinion don't need power steering. My go-to manual steering is the 20:1. It's one full turn faster than the 24:1 but not as "heavy" feeling as the 16:1. Electric power steering? Why? Are you planning to upgrade your electrical system...

15x7 is the wheel you want. A 255 is pretty big for an early A-body. You'll have to do some work to get it in the wheel well.

I use 2" blocks to cut down because they're on the shelf locally.

Cut down a 2" block. That's what I usually do on early A-bodies to get 1 1/2".

Best bang for the buck (and engineering) is a 73-76 A-body style brake setup from Dr Diff.

That photo is Jeff's wagon.

Nice wagon. Any interior and engine pics?

Has the center bore been opened up? Looks a little “off”. Check eBay seller “Lugnut King” from Utah. He’s got a lot of hard to find wheel goodies.

KYB gas-a-just would be my choice.

Try Jeff at JC Auto Restoration, Inc. | Vintage MoPar Auto Parts & Restoration . He has a US 65 Valiant wagon and he has probably collected a few extras.
