'70 squire: back to the road

I broke out mt 65/72 ford parts manual and laid the drum question to rest for good. Ford part number m-1126-b and it's the same drum for 65-72 thunderbird. They're available and even have a good supply of NOS drums around.

 

I am entirely de-moused up to the back of the front seat. Including doors and tail gate.
I'm saving all of the hardware and some of the interior trim. But most is straight to the dumpster. Just about everything that had cloth or padding to it is junk.

 

Is that an NOS new arm rest? The best thing in that ‘69, and it doesn’t cross over to your ‘70. Thanks Tryloff for all your postings. It’s fun to watch a project play out.

 

Nothing nose, but several parts in really good condition. Most trash though. Fortunately, my 70 interior is pretty good.

 

As much as it pains me to say this:

This wagon, the parts wagon, and all spare parts I've accumulated are for sale.
I am asking 6k for everything together.
I will post pictures of the entirety of what is available as soon as I can.

 

Bummer to hear that.

 

Darn. I'm guessing you've had something happen in your life?

Well, I'll say a few prayers for you, that either your wagon sells quickly, to resolve the problem, or that your problem is resolved, without having to sell the wagon.

 

I'm just too busy. Every time I've worked on it I've posted here about it. Look at the dates. Someone should be getting enjoyment from the car.

 

Ah, I see.

 

Update: the wagons sold for full asking. I gave the new owner permission to use this thread for updates if they want to.

Here's the replacement:


It runs, drives, stops, etc. It has some issues but it's a maintenance and repair game now instead of a restoration project.

 

Glad to hear that you were able to sell it for full asking price. Looks like the "replacement" is a pretty nice rig.

 

It's less optioned than the brown one was. Which was not disclosed to me. I bought it sight unseen out of Texas. The paint job is a 10 footer also. But whatever. I can drive it and enjoy it and will likely fix it up bit by bit while keeping it operational.

 

Is that the dark olive green. I loved that color.

 

It's not an original color. The previous owner called it forest green
