Hi, thanks for all the help, cleaned up the rear spindle threads I got the rear wheels on the 544 and got it home, still needs a little work. Plan to get new castle nuts, when I find them, size is 7/8 x 14 fine thread.
There was no fan belt on it, so I put in a Gates 7350, (Gates web site said this was the correct one) seemed awful tight to get on, but did it. the old broken one was a Gates 7360. Car started up, but a awful squeking noise from the belt, could the belt be to small? anyone know the correct size belt or part no. Any part suppliers do you prefer? Repair manual? The car engine sounds good, the floor pan on the passenger size is gone.
My plan: 1. Get it running, rebuilt the brakes, all frozen, drive it, if I like it, repair floor. Will post pictures soon.

Thanks
Bruce
