I want to do a front end rebuild but the parts are hard to find for a 1963 Pontiac Catalina what other cars are interchangeable that I could buy parts from

Kanter has a complete front end kit. OPGI and Ames also carrys these parts.

Frosty, thats a reallly good price for a whole front end kit, would it fit a 64 ?

i did email ames and they dont have a 64 kit, they would sell me all the parts but not as cheap as this Kanter kit for a 63

Kiwi, it should. The third generation Bonneville and Catalina ran from ‘61 to ‘64.

FWIW;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               We did a full suspension overhaul on the '63 TEMPEST with a KANTER kit over 20 years ago and everything is still going strong.

thanks Sprint 6

this front end kit is like 300 notes cheaper than ames quoted me and my only concern was if it would fit my 64

cheers !
