Anyone know the major differences between 56 and 57 (regular line) drums, spindles, steering linkages and how they're different? thanks, Jeff
Jeff Burland, Just one guy with too many 54-76 restorables and parts to list

Jeff, I believe that drums are identical for both years. However, I'm not at home and cannot verify on the parts book. However, the rest is different: '56 had a king pin suspension/steering; '57 had ball joints at the lower and upper suspension's arms.
