I've always liked Wagoneers. There's something about a 4x4 truck with woodgrain. My son recently bought a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, which led us to Jeepfest in Jasper, GA a couple of months ago. We saw a beautiful Wagoneer that the whole family fell in love with. So, I had the family (wife) hooked. Fast forward to a couple of weekends ago at the Moonshine Festival. One of my Gran Torino buddies is over from Tennessee. Somehow we get on the subject, and I learn that he has a '91 Grand Wagoneer, and he wants to sell it. The rest is history. This past weekend, I brought this home.
The Wagoneers from the Gladiator era had that front end. I had both of the Tonka Toys, pickup and Wagoneer, along with the dump truck and cement mixer using the Gladiator base truck. Nice conversion on that front! TONKA!
Still learning these things. So it looks like only the 63-65 Wagoneers had this front end, but the Gladiators all throughout the 60s did.
Thanks! It's a 360 Automatic. Not sure of exact trans. Will definitely keep you updated on its progress. It will be slow. It's at the bottom of my (wife's) list of priorities.
