Ok guys first let me start off by saying hello!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's my situation....Although I do not own an AMC Pacer, I do own a 46 Chevy pickup with a Pacer front end in it. Apparently this was the hot setup back in the day as the Pacer front end bolted right into the 46 frame(companies actually sold a kit to do this retro) and was also the perfect tread width for that year truck. Unfortunately my front end is in dire need of a rebuild.
Being somewhat old school myself, I was really hoping I could rebuild the unit I have instead of swapping it out for a generic Mustang II unit like everybody else does. I figure why throw out a perfectly good piece of Americana if it can be rebuilt. 
I was hoping you guys would be kind enough to take a look at my pics and tell me what year Pacer front end is in my truck so I can order parts for it (is there even a difference from year to year with this unit)? I certainly don't want to order parts for a 76 , if I have a 75 or whatever.
I do Have a complete front end rebuild kit from Kantner that has all the control arm bushings, ball joints etc. But what I still need are wheel bearings, rotors, shocks etc. And if available a real good set of brake calipers such as Willwood.
The other thing is before I post the pics....Do you guys think its even worth rebuilding this unit or should I just scrap it and go the mustang II route. lets see I hope this works..
