The axles were rebuilt and refinished as new.Complete new suspension, and all new brake system and fittings. The front end was completely rebuilt with new seals, gaskets, and bearings. New battery tray and hold down; new battery. New body mounts, weather stripping, and seals. Replacement of all gear and general oils all around. New doors and associated parts were installed.
