hey guys looks for some info and good pictures. i have a 64' belair wagon and does anyone have some pictures of a exterior tailgate handle for a manual rear window? mine needs handle and i have been offered one that seller says needs roll pin that attaches hadle parts together, my concern is this part is "cast" and i'm not sure if this can be fixed or not. i'm gonna tryand get a picture but if anyone has info saying what i think that it can't be fixed speak up please. thanks.
64 wagon hi, i just bought a 64 impala wagon, going to pick it up in about a week. I have seen the car and noticed that there only was a hole in the tailgate were the handle should be, but a lot of other trim was removed as well. It should all be in the car when i pick it up.(i hope ) As soon as i have the car at home and unloaded i will take some pics.. ..be patient my friend, GREETZZ Paul P.S. A sneak preview of my new ride..
that would be great to find that piece! cool 64'! forgot to add i also have a 55' pontiac 2dr.wgn. 860 model (non safari) that is a back burner project. i'll post some pictures soon.
Might try hitting up the authors of these threads for some info. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9573 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10594 I thought there was another guy, but a quick search yielded no results.
yes that is killer! looks like i need to purchase the one i found for $50 does that seem like fair deal even though i need to replace the roll pin?
I've found that if the price is too high, but you need it - then bite the bullet and get it. If you don't need it to keep your car on the road - then keep looking. On the other hand - will another one come up for sale? How many swap meets, junk yards or nights searching websites will it take to find another? How long will you wait for your wanted ads to get answered? What is you time worth? Good Luck!!!
Related Subject Daytona Turkey Rod run is a very large car-swap meet, coincidently during Thanksgiving. I was looking at literature at a booth. The vendor had misc. car parts holding down the magazines and fliers. I needed a working tailgate handle for my 1955 Chevy wagon. There it was, holding down car books. It wasn't for sale. Of course everything at a flea market is really for sale. Those things are sort of rare, therefore not cheap. Wasn't worried about the key. The old handle centersection with my key worked. Offered the guy $10 and he took it. Then he asked what it was for, figuring I knew. He said he would have asked much more if he'd known. You don't always luck out and find everything you need. When you do ya better grab it. We're not in this game to save money!
