My 68 and 71 Wagons

[rinkplonk]

Thought I'd share a few pics of my two latest finds. 71 from original owner, 318, auto. 71K actual mi.-- '68 from same owner since 74. 90K mi. 383, 4spd. Refurbishing consisted of mainly clean-up and new seat covers plus the usual little stuff to get 'em back on the road. Both run like new. Jer

Great trucks.

How do you get the center caps to stay on? Did you change the axle studs?

[rinkplonk]

I installed spacers on the wheels. Still had to re-engineer (re-position) the clamps that snap onto the lugnuts.

[j2007]

what size of tire are you running on the green one?

[rinkplonk]

Those are well-worn 315/75/16's. Gotta get new ones soon.

[rx1mtnman]

[rinkplonk]

Ok, here ya go!

[backwoods]

Beautiful trucks!

are your running any lift on it?

by the way very nice trucks

[rinkplonk]

No lift. All stock suspension.

[jgeebee63]

Your trucks look great. Must be tough deciding which to drive first!

[rinkplonk]

They're both a kick to drive because of all the attention they generate. No matter which one I'm driving I always get asked where I got it, what year it is, what I paid, and practically everyone says "You don't see many of those any more". I say you don't see many because there weren't that many to start with. Everyone bought Fords and Chevys. Thanks to everyone for the compliments.

Thanks Hob, these are my latest finds. I had 2 '66 D200's and a '70 W100 SWB. Sold those and went huntin' for more. I tell my wife a man can't have too many old Dodges or guitars. I see you're in Lockport. Been there years ago. I lived in Niagara Falls while I was working on the power project in '60 and '61. Yep, I'm older than my trucks!

Nice rigs! Any more pics of the 68?

Small world eh? I drive by the power plant quite often on
my way to Lewiston to visit a customer. Niagara Falls
is pretty pathetic on the U.S. side these days.... quite
different than when you were living there. Lockport is
an OK town to live in.... still relatively small and there's
a NAPA, hardware store and our local auto repair garage
within a couple of miles of our house. That's
about all I need.

Here's a "before" pic of my '68. I got it June 5th. It had been sittin' in the previous owner's back yard for 12-15 years. Came back to life very quick. Now I need a new project.
I see you are in Castle Rock. My step-son lives there. Thanks, Jer
