I FINALLY have got started on the Wagoneer.
Im starting with a 1970 Wagoneer with a chev 350 equipped with a Edelbrock performer intake 1405 carb Dual exhaust bolted to a T350 trans and np203 t case with part time kit.
THE PLAN:
Im building it to be my daily driver, The wag will see PLENTY of snow storms, medium duty trail rig, fishing/camping, tow the boat around rig.
THE BUDGET:
Not enough
The list:
remove the aftermarket guages from their current crap location to a more useful place.
4" lift springs in the rear from Bj's (Already have em)
install AC system from a 77 cherk
re wire almost everything. The po put a new harness in but it looks like he was in a hurry.
install Steering column from a 75 wag to get tilt and cruise control buttons
install cruise control system from newer fjs with bellows and all.
new Headliner of course
re done door panels
re done dash pad.
Decent bucket seats.
Dynomat and that super quiet molded carpet with pad from bj's
2 not dented front fenders and paint job
roof rack if a good deal falls in my lap.
install towing package
hydroboost!
would love to swap the trans and t case but the ones I got will do the job for now. I might be able to get by with a doubler but we will have to see.
Here are some pics of what Im starting with
Here are some of the parts Im gonna be installing. I haven't collected everything I need yet but Im getting there.
The wallet can only withstand so much flogging per month.
THE DAHS PAD
THE SPRINGS FROM BJS
THE MORE MODERN COLUMN (The one with half primer)
GUTTED THE INTERIOR AND REMOVED THE STEERING COLUMN TODAY.
Ill update whenever I get something significant done. Feel free to throw all your input, tips and flack my way, its all useful.
