1. Original tires were 205 / 75 / 15 or 215 / 70 /15. Current tires are 235 / 75 /15 and they need to be replaced. Keep current size or get original? How can I determine which size was original?
2. Speedometer not accurate - shows 100 MPH when doing 50 or 60 MPH. Simple matter of replacing cable or does it need a recalibration if the tire size is not original?
3. No radio in dash but dash radio opening has been cut. Best place for original look radio and how to replace original opening?
4. Suspension worn - good place for parts?
5. Window rattling - good place for parts?
