Cunegonde's chassis is a 1983 basic "L" option package - she's 4sp
manual transmission & steering. I'm on a tight budget after Scott's
trans replacement and engine work this summer, so minimal upgrades
planned, just planning good quality components professionally
installed. I really can't spring for two spindles, 2 sets new brakes,
plus all the labor to to completely re-do both front sides. Shocks &
ball joints & bearings are relatively inexpensive, it's the labor that
will break me.

We say we are paying full market price for Cunegonde (I paid $700 for
her from a neighbor three years ago, yes, running with all camper gear
intact), just on the installment plan.

Thanks for the tech recommendations.
