    Hi there,

    I have had several wagons with the current project being my 69 Ranch wagon. I came across this site while hunting glass for it and thought I would jump in. The car has a 9" rear with discs and a new fuel injected motor on an engine stand that will be paired with an AOD. Not planning on chopping it up. I just wanted an updated drive train with a little better fuel economy.
    Thanks,
    Billy

    :Welcome:to the wagon train, billy. I love what you are doing. Keep the wagon looking like it should but bring it up to date under the hood etc. That should work out great.(y) 302?

    I will give this a try. That's the best I have. That's with the new rear, brakes and 17" tires. I will get some real photo's now that I figured it out. Me and the wife going for a ride on my Vespa.

    Thanks,
    Billy

    Thanks Guys, more pics soon.

    Walrus-Nice falcon. I had two of those same wagons when I was a kid. A 61 that was baby blue and another that was black. Wish I never got rid of them.
