Rock auto seems to only offer 11in shoes for my car...so maybe? Also, he said 65 spindles will not fit nor will 65 c body spindles. I'm also gonna ask if he has any 65 parts for sale or he like to get rid of if anyone is interested! Also, his 67 belvedere is for sale. 440, gtx hood and interior super nice black with a white interior 2d hard top, of anyone is interested.
