1 pair of Fenton R/T 15 hole 14x7" wheels. 3-7/8" backset. Some whiskey licks but nothing that keeps them from holding air. I only have 8 lugs &...
Finally!! Was able to find a 9" differential. Came with a extremely rusty '66 donor. Figure I can part out salvageable parts and get some/most of...
Well, thanks for the information and motivation!! I had 1999 6 way Explorer seats in mine and I hated the look. Way too tall, but I didn't want...
Of ALL the "pretty" vehicles at the Goodguys Columbus show, the Columbus Dispatch found my 'gate. Pretty funny...and in color. Click on the...

Looks great! I have their MII. I like it other than a squeak in one of the bushings. Handles great. I think the pump I have is a Holley. It's...
Speedfische, I have a similar setup (5.0 EFI) in my '65 wagon. (recognizing tanks are a little different). Describe your fuel delivery setup...
Dang, you are a lucky man!! If I might ask, how much did it run and was it hard to find?
Is that a 9" from an Econo? It's hard to tell for sure if it's a 9".
Earlier in this thread I asked the same. Someone said they knew someone who was, but after several requests for more info.......nuttin.
I've been looking for the same for a while. Not easy to find. I was actually considering going to a local machine shop and having some fabbed....
Maybe $2-2500. Since the engine is out, and you have no guarantee it runs (?) I would shoot for the low end of that. It would depend on the rust.
If I were out your way, I'd have a look! I like the original color.
I could tell you my story, then you wouldn't feel so badly. I'm over $9k and still need to upgrade the drivetrain. ....and paint....and...
'cept she had an F-85 that yerar! Nice job!
I swapped in a '69 Mustang tank that I bought off Ebay. IIRC about $125 with sender. 20 gallons. I made my own straps out of galvanized. As...
Simply, the difference between the C6 2wd and 4wd is the tailshaft and the extension housing. Then the transfer case bolts to that. I doubt a 4wd...
My curiosity makes me want to see a pic of what someone has done. Actually the newer VWs do fire 2 at a time. Made me nuts the first time I had...
....and my favorite... [ATTACH]
Not sure if I'm allowed to post a direct link to an Ebay item, but thought these were pretty cool. ...and pricey...:D ...and no, not mine. [ATTACH]
No, I get it, I didnt take it personally. Thanks for the compliment, I'll like my wagon much better after it's "done" .....and I have no plans...
I'm still trying to figure out why people continue to make such a big deal out of it. It's a theme. No different than someone who builds a...
I didn't read his whole build.....but was trying to figure out why people would donate to his project. What did I miss?
My '65 wagon had the same 2.79 rear. It was an original 289/C4, but now has a 5.0 HO / AOD (yea, I know, not old skool). Anyway, I was cruisin 65...
Those look real nice! Nice job. Had to be hard cutting it up with what looks like a nice paint job.
Wow! Thanks a lot! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, I didn't get notified. The pics answered some questions. If I can't find them new or used, I...
Back in the early 70's I had 2 '65s. One was a Futura, similar blue, flat black bubble hood, 2 gallon moon tank hanging off the front, Cragar 4"...
Saw THIS ....and thought of your build.
Thanks! I am. Some p.o. installed a solid rod down the center, so I need to make sure that I can get it out. Those look good! Lemme know! J. R.
Would somebody mind posting a close-up picture of a tailgate hinge? A couple angles would help. I may have to fab something, can't find any....
