I fabricated all of my rear suspension and built it along the same lines as the truck trailing arm suspensions. I'd be happy to help if you have any questions. I've got a lot of pictures, etc. if there's anything you'd like to see. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Lol, I know mine has snowballed. Didn't plan on a lot of the stuff I am doing, but I plan on keeping this car long term so I am doing the main stuff like floor pans, wiring, brake system etc. All the finishing touches can come later. I plan to have it finished enough for the 2015 power tour, I had so much fun in my c10 last year I have to go again.

One of my goals is to drive the Long Haul on the Power Tour and Drag Week one of these years. My car had Fred Flintstone floor pans but it came with full length left/right pans, so that was a no-brainer for me to go ahead and do the whole thing. |

I actually just made a deal to buy back my dad's old '69 C10 short step side that he daily drove for 10 years and sold 15 years ago. He sold it to a family friend's son that was 17 at the time and is 32 now. I am super excited to get the truck back, LS swap it, and start daily driving it like my dad did over 15 years ago! |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Haha, yeah, without the front fenders on they look huge, but with the fender on it, it doesn't look nearly as big for some reason.
If anyone cares, here's my build thread on a local board. http://www.dfwmustangs.net/forums/sh...ght=goldmember |

My buddy that helped me get started on the car has a really sweet '60 Parkwood with a 6.0/76mm turbo/4L60/air ride that was kind of my inspiration when I started building my wagon. http://youtu.be/A2zqHqIObPs |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
And just to stay a bit off of the subject...I was at the CASE Construction dealer in Sherman picking up parts yesterday.
Nice build! Loving the wagons in this thread.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Loving that 60 parkwood posted above, I know i have seen a writeup on it somewhere also. Looks like my rear end may tuck lugs when laid out?? Are you bagged guys running bump stops? I dont have any right now and was wondering if i should set some up.
Also i always wonder what the person looks like associated with a screen name, so here is a pic of me after getting some new glasses this last weekend. I was driving my beater Mercedes wagon. |
