Anyone here a Wagoneer expert? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ive always loved the old Wagoneers, and I am currently looking at a fairly decently preserved 1966 model. It has the Vigilante 327 engine, which I know is NOT a clone of the Chevy engine. Wondering about parts availability for that, tho the longer term plan would be to drop in a modern Dodge or Chevy engine. Also any other wisdom you might be able to offer about these trucks. Since this one is pre Quadra Trac, It wont have the "slip-stick" issue, and I have also heard that the rear window mechanisms tend to strip out (like our Blazers).

Ay experts care to chime in before I pull the trigger?
