1983 malibu wagon reborn

For now I'm sticking with the dog dish caps. I do kinda like the dog dish/ sleeper look.

 

Thanks Art.

 

nice, sure you new one will look good too.

 

nice, hub caps always look cool!!! Bumpers look really nice too.

 

Jack,
sounds nice, looks great too.
Whats the deal with the jeep intermediate shaft? Does this also eliminate the rag joint?
Dave

 

Thank you for your kind words, Dave.
I'm sorry about hijacking your thread.

 

Dave,
The Jeep Cherokee intermediate shaft does eliminate the rag joint. I feel the steering is firmer, more precise... and no rag joint slop. From what I understand, you can also use the steering shaft from an Astro/ Safari van. They also have the u-joint type setup.
They can be had in the junkyard cheaply. I think I paid a whopping $7.00 for mine.

 

Shipping fell through, I am going to pick it up and drive it home.

 

Where do you have to pick this car up, and how far? I hope your mission goes smoothly and without incident. Let us know what happens. Good luck!
Jack

 

Delavan, Wisconsin, 1300 miles. Thanks

 

Art,
Come to think of it, I believe you did mention the car being up in Wisconsin...
That's a good haul. I hope it's in good enough shape mechanically to make the trip home.
Good luck! The weather has been rather mild for this time of year, so I think you'll be in good shape in that respect.
Will this road trip take place this weekend?

Jack

 

I've been to Delavan, Wisconsin. I'll bet the trees are almost bare by now. Good luck on the road trip.

 

I have started two Long Hauls in Wisconsin and ended one.

 

Art, do you mean twice you've tried retrieving the car? What happened with the transporter?

 

Yeah, I think you're right about that. Well, you're up in Illinois now, it's gotta be getting chilly up there as well...you're not too far from Wisconsin.
