Hi Volks!! I've had a busy 3 weeks getting Velma closer to tip top shape by
rebuilding the entire front suspension all powerflex bushings including new
powerflex rear trailing arm bushings and moog balljoints and rod
ends,cleaned and re greased front spindle bearings,installing a single belt
set up from Scott at turbovans which required a new small hub water pump
for the pulley changes,a bosch rebuilt alternator,new speedometer cable to
show how slow I am actually going,a re seal kit for the tank, making an
antenna off a type 2 van work due to no hole for original vanny antenna and
the alignment was done today. She drives like a dream,no clunks anymore nor
excessive steering slop!! Now I know she's ready for our next camping trip
a 5 day outing to Lake Okaboji in 9 days,now just a couple more cosmetic
things to finish!! Great relief!!!
