    Glad I found this site. I have been a car guy as long as I can remember. I have a 50 Chevy pickup hotrod under construction and I recently purchased a 52 Chevy Tin Woody. I am in the process of installing a Fatman MII stage III kit, Walton trans and brake mount and Chassis Engineering rear springs in the woody. Next the floor will be replaced and then a 454 installed.
    If anybody on the forum has a BB in their 49-52 wagon I would like to hear from them?
    Looking forward to learning more from all of you experts and hopefully I can contribute something in exchange.

    Glad you found us JK - I've had my '57 Pontiac wagon for almost as long as you, I'm now at the 32 year mark. Its as much a part of the family as I am and if something had to go I'm not sure whether my wife would keep the Safari or me. I think it would be tough decision for her.........

    Look forward to seeing pics when you get around to it. Yeah, we love to see pictures of members wagons. Car porn - so to speak :dance:

    Saf, I don't think it would take your wife as long to decide as you think!
    :DI'm not sure whether my wife would keep the Safari or me. I think it would be tough decision for her.........:D
    I've only had our wagon a short 25 years or so. Not counting the time I traded it for a Ford! I plead temporary insanity!

    tin woody

    Thanks guys. I travel a lot for my company so when I get some time I will post a few photos. It is not much to look at-all original with patina,rust and dents. Floors are gone, so that is one of the projects. This is the same model and color, that I learned to drive on when I was around 12 on my Uncle's farm, in Virginia. When I saw it I had to have it!
