Thanks guys, I'm on the list at Jim Carters and just received a note from them saying they are doing their best to get them back in stock soon. I believe I still have lots of brake left on the shoes to not have to reline them just yet. So now I'm just cleaning up and reassembling as much as I can until the springs show up. The front ball bearings really surprised me and yes, I will be careful with them. New shocks in front are also going in and the brakeline hoses have been replaced. Before driving in the Spring the brake lines will be new since anything in the back end has not been in use for a while. New brake fluid and ( hopefully ) proper bleeding and brake adjustment will allow me the wonderful feeling of not having to downshift and begin prayers at the site of a stop sign a mile away!
Hope all of the pieces go back where they belong!
