old suspension parts?
I'm putting the ride tech level II suspension on my 63, that had 4 wheel manual drum brakes.

would anyone want the old suspension or drum brakes parts or do I just toss them?

I think just about everything that comes off an old corvette has value to somebody. It doesn't hurt to check ebay for going prices and stick em on the Classifieds here for a "Corvette Brother" discount.

not sure how much parking brake stuff I'm going to reuse, not sure what I'm going to end up with for rear brakes, but it will disk brakes.
the half shafts are staying, but so far these are parts I don't need:
rear leaf spring
rear cross brace
front A-arms
front spindles
I think all the steering parts
steering box (this I think someone will want)
front springs (almost tossed these....)
front sway bar & mounts
rear trailing arms
bars that connect the rear trailing arms to the center section.
front and rear drums & drum brake parts (- e brake stuff maybe)
as far a I know it is all stock, but I really don't know what may have been done to it 25 years ago.

I think all I'm keeping is the pitman arm.
the idler arm, I already got a new one (all the ball joints were sloppy)
the drag link was for a manual steering car, and the rebuild kit (end does not unscrew) was at least like $75, I got a power steering drag link coming (used) for $65. The power steering one has the end that unscrews instead of rebuilding it. I have that end new from my new borgeson power steering box. (and now I'll have the power steering drag link)
yeah, normally you would keep the pitman arm, idler arm, and drag link.
I wanted to replace or rebuild all ball joints in the steering.
don't worry I'm test fitting everything, before I get rid of anything.
