Mike,
I think you are going to find that Newell used commercially available Class 8 truck drive trains, axles, and brake systems that were in use at the time of construction. As you restore your baby, you will do well to find a counter guy at a truck supply with some birthdays behind him.
Unfortunately, not many have taken on a coach of that vintage, so our help may be generic at times. When finished you will have less time, less money, less rust, more aesthetics, more conversation starters, and more hair than those who choose to buy a used passenger coach and self convert.
We would love to see pictures of the as found condition, and pics every step of the way as you bring her back to life.
