I bought the truck about a year ago. the only place I have taken it is a show in Clinton NJ. I can't imagine the previous owner taking it all the way to Hershey.
This truck was so hacked together its a wonder it made it out of his driveway. When I pulled the motor, out of the 6 bolts holding the motor in....1 was missing, 2 where broken off inside the block, and the other 3 where only hand tight. And as far as the wiring goes...well lets just say my 4 year old daughter can make nicer spaghetti!  Heres another example of what I found... What wrong with this pic   Ans he claimed to be a restoration specialist  |

Pacer brakes and spindles are the same as all other 2WD AMC cars, so you don't have to have Pacer specific parts. Not trying to mess up a sell, just saying!!

Hey guys,what are you asking for that front suspension clip? I have a 47 studebaker pick up in my shop that has a pacer front clip under it,but it has drum brakes. My customer wants it converted to disk brakes. So im in search for the parts to convert his to disk brakes. I was told that pacer suspension and brakes are different from other Amc cars. Or can you use the spindles,backing plates,caliper mounts,calipers and rotors from any AMC car? Never ran across this before so any help would be great!
Thanks, Marc Twisted Customs

the subframe is def. going to be different. according to frank the spindles and everything out should be the same. im guessing from small body amc cars such as gremlin/spirit/hornet/concord. you can also convert them to ford ranger brakes by buying an adapter and then replacement parts are at your fingertips at the nearest autopart stores.
